Decio, Filippo

Italian original Cite

Also known as: Latin: Philippus Decius

DECIO, FILIPPO. - Canonist, b. in Milan in 1454, d. perhaps in Siena ca. 1536. He was first a pupil and later a professor of canon and civil law at Pisa; he subsequently taught at Siena, Padua, Pavia, Pisa and again at Siena. Leo X, once his disciple, had absolved him from the excommunication imposed on him by Julius II for having promoted an assembly of cardinals in favor of Louis XII.

He left writings on canon law, among which the Commentaria in decretales enjoyed particular fame (Lyons 1540 ff.; Rome 1579; Venice 1599); he was, however, more celebrated for his art of teaching.
