GUGLIELMO NASO (Guilelmus Naso). - Decretalist of the University of Bologna, where he was first a pupil of Alan of Wales. He was professor Decretorum in the year 1222.

Among the glossators of Gratian's Decretum there is a Willelmus, who is considered by some to be our G. N., while others attribute the glosses to Guilelmus Guascus.

Around the year 1234 he wrote a Commentary or Reading on the Decretals of Gregory IX, analyzing the individual chapters with an exegetical method. The work is still unpublished: fragments have been edited by Trifone, who has also reviewed all the Cassinese codices containing works of G. N. (Gli scritti di G. N. conservati nella Biblioteca di Montecassino, in Rivista di storia del dir. ital., 2 [1929], pp. 242-60). Among his works are glosses on the Compilationes antiquae, Allegationes and reportationes on the Decretals of Gregory IX, a Summa concerning the same, and distinctiones and repetitiones on the Decretum and on the Decretals.
