A small library in a peripheral studium:transmission of knowledge in the early modern University of Lisbon*

André de Oliveira Leitão**

1. Introduction

The Portuguese medieval university was first established in the city of Lisbon, sometime between 1288and 1290 by King Denis, with the support of the abbots, priors and priests of some of the major abbeys,convents, as well as some collegiate and parish churches of the kingdom, and was soon granted the sta-tus of studium generale by Pope Nicholas IV (through the bullDe statu regni Portugalie, dated August 9th,1290)1. By that time, the studium of Bologna already existed for roughly two hundred years, the Parisianone was established in the mid-twelfth century and that of Salamanca was founded in the early-thirteenthcentury2.Despite the role played by the university in the formation of Portuguese students, Christendom’s west-

ernmost studiumwas a peripheral university in Europe for most of its existence in Lisbon. In fact, since thefoundation of the Portuguese realm, in the first-half of the twelfth century, a significant number of Por-tuguese scholars performed the so-called peregrinatio academica towards the Italian, French or Castilian stu-dia, due to the inexistence of an university in Portugal; this path continued during the fourteenth and fif-teenth centuries, with a large number of scholars still going abroad to get their academic degrees3.

In addition, the constant relocation of the Portuguese university during the fourteenth century be-tween Lisbon and Coimbra (1308, 1338, 1354 and 1377), a unique feature among the studia of theChristendom4, did not help to settle both students and teachers, nor to build appropriate buildings tolodge the university during the first century of its existence.In fact, it was only in the fifteenth century that the University of Lisbon began to enjoy greater pres-

tige, following the establishment of the new dynasty of Avis and the granting of several privileges by theKing (as well as other members of the royal family), including the settlement in perpetuity of the uni-versity in the capital of the realm, one of the earliest measures taken by King John I before his accessionto the throne in the context of the succession crisis of 1383-85, in order to secure the support of thecanonists and legists of the realm for his cause5).In 1431, the third son of King John I, Prince Henry, the Navigator, Duke of Viseu and Master of the

Order of Christ, became protector of the studium generale and bought some buildings in the parish ofSaint Thomas (near the monastery of Saint Vincent, in Lisbon), in order to provide the university withproper accommodations6. Following the acquisition of the property, he ordered these buildings to be re-stored and painted with some frescoes related to the subjects taught in the university – for example, theimage of a Pope (in the school of canon law) and an Emperor (civil law), or the depictions of Galen (med-icine) and Aristotle (natural and moral philosophy)7. Furthermore, he also ordered the construction ofnew houses to the university officials (such as the bedel), but no references were made to any library ofthe studium.

any reference to the library books, only to the library building in an article by Rui Lobo about the lo-cation of the university buildings10.Starting in the late-nineteenth century, some scholars produced a handful of articles regarding the in-

ventories of the library of the studium, transcribing the text of the inventories and adding some notes,including Gabriel Pereira11, Teófilo Braga12, Joaquim Teixeira de Carvalho13 or Isaías da Rosa Pereira14.The project of the printing of medieval Portuguese university sources, known as Chartularium Univer-sitatis Portugalensis, headed by Artur Moreira de Sá, Professor at the School of Arts and Humanities ofthe University of Lisbon, includes the two Books of the University of Lisbon from 1506 to 1537 which werepublished in three volumes under the name Auctarium Chartularii Universitatis Portugalensis15, follow-ing the model of the cartulary of the University of Paris, published by the end of the nineteenth centu-ry by Heinrich Denifle, Charles Samaran and Émile Chatelain16. The third volume, covering the peri-od between 1529 and 1537, includes the transcription of the inventories and the available bibliographyon the subject.

3. The first university libraries

The pecia, the system of copying of the books supervised by the stationarii peciarum, was for a long pe-riod of time the main system of transmission of knowledge in medieval university17; thus, the existenceof a studium library was certainly deemed unnecessary.In Paris, there was a libraria maior in which the books were not available for loan and a libraria par-

va which contained duplicates; an inventory dated 1290 indicates over a thousand manuscripts from allfields of knowledge18. In England, several colleges of the University of Oxford had its own libraries es-tablished from the fourteenth century onwards, with the first university library being established by thebishop of Worcester, Thomas Cobham (although the modern Bodleian Library was founded only in1602), while the library of the University of Cambridge was established before 141619.In Central and Eastern Europe, where universities were founded relatively later than in Western and

Southern Europe and the British Isles, the first libraries appeared only in the fourteenth century (the

Jagiellonian Library was established in 1364 along with the University of Cracow), and during the fif-teenth century several other libraries were founded, including Erfurt (before 1407), Heidelberg (before1432), Wien (before 1443) or Cologne (before 1474)20. Finally, in Hispania, the library of the studiumof Salamanca was established in 1474; the building was finished five years later (within the Escuelas May-ores) and included about two hundred volumes.

4. The library of the Portuguese studium and its inventories

The first known reference to the library of the Portuguese studium goes back to February 17th, 1513. Ina document recorded in the Livro da Universidade de Lisboa de 1506 té 1526 (Book of the University ofLisbon from 1506 to 1526), it is said that the recebedor (the receiver of the university rents) handed overto the bedel 58 books of canon and civil law, theology and liberal arts that belonged to the late DiogoLopes, a former professor of canon law in the University of Lisbon, deceased in October 150821. In hiswill, he donated all these books to the university, in addition to 70 other books of all sciences that usedto be in the aforesaid library, in the old school buildings22.The mention to the «old school buildings» led us to the conclusion that the studium library was cer-

tainly instituted before1513. But when was it exactly established? Could it have been founded in the fif-teen century, after the construction works ordered by Prince Henry in 1431? In light of our knowledgeabout other European university libraries, the library of the University of Lisbon was certainly establishedsometime between 1431 and 1513; the repeated relocation of the university during the fourteenth cen-tury, between Lisbon and Coimbra, certainly might have contributed to its disappearance. However, inthe early-sixteenth century, the library was located in a one-floor building near the university; during thisperiod, several requests concerning the renovation of the edifice were made, due to its humid environ-ment (1513, 1530 and 153523).Besides the reference made in the will of Diogo Lopes about some 130 books donated to the university

library, there are two preserved inventories of the library of the University of Lisbon dated from the1530’s; both were recorded in the Livro da Universidade de Lisboa de 1526 té 1537 (Book of the Univer-sity of Lisbon from 1526 to 1537), the second volume of the series of Livro dos Actos e Graus da Universi-dade de Coimbra (Book of Acts and Degrees of the University of Coimbra), currently stored in the Archiveof the University of Coimbra (AUC).The first inventory24 was composed circa 1532 by Luís Cardoso and João Landeiro, both councillors

of the university, and an unnamed bedel – he could either be João Afonso or Nicolau Lopes (elected inJune of that same year); it included over 40 books and it was probably left unfinished, as it lacks the be-del’s signature. The second inventory25 was completed on June 8th, 1536 (just ten months before the re-

location of the studium to Coimbra, in March 1537) by João Landeiro and the bedel Nicolau Lopes; itcomprised 152 volumes (including all the books of the 1532 inventory), allocated to twenty-four book-shelves, twelve on each side of the library.These two inventories are the only references known to us about the books of the library of the studi-

um of Lisbon. At a time when King John III’s strong desire to relocate the university from Lisbon toCoimbra was known to all professors, councillors and officials, the studium certainly wanted to ensurethat all the movable property of the university would not be lost with its transfer to another city, andtherefore ordered the compiling of these inventories.There are some important features regarding these inventories. The books placed in the left shelves

were almost entirely dedicated to canon law and civil law (except for a volume of rhetoric and poetry inthe twelfth shelf ); the books on the first, second and fifth selves on the right concern theology and thoseon the fourth shelf were about medicine; the remaining shelves on the right were filled with law books.In fact, there is an enormous prevalence of law books (both canon and civil law) in the inventories, com-prising 96 volumes (63% of the total); the theology books were also substantial, although in a smallerscale (21 books, or 14%), with particular emphasis on the works of Saint Thomas Aquinas (five books);the remaining volumes include five books of medicine (3%) and three books of rhetoric and poetry(2%). In addition, there are 26 volumes (17%) whose subject is unknown, as they have no titles in theirbook spines, which lead the authors of the inventory to wrote «sem sumas nem titolos njl ualent» («with-out summaries or titles they are worthless»).The inventories show us the coexistence of both manuscripts and incunabula: some were produced

in Portugal, while others were printed in foreign countries (such as some books printed by Batista de Tor-tis, a Venice-based printer in the late 1480’s, and maybe also by the German printer Johannes ofCologne); we do not know, however, whether the majority of the books were printed or handwritten, asonly some of them explicitly refer that they were manuscripts (32 volumes) or in parchment (10 vol-umes), while others are referred as being quite old and, most likely, they are supposed to be handwrit-ten as well (14 volumes).A significant number of these books were authored by some Italian ecclesiastics from the twelfth,

thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, while there are very few authors from the fifteenth century onwards,as well as from other countries besides Italy. We will further analyse these questions in the next section.

5. The library inventories: books and authors

Typologically, the largest number of books in these inventories were canon law books; in fact, the in-ventory explicitly claims that the library possessed «todos os textos de canones» («all the texts of canonlaw»). This statement is certainly overstated, but it is an evidence of the importance of canon law in thecontext of the Portuguese studium – in fact, regarding the names of both the students and masters of themedieval University of Lisbon, we know more about those who were devoted to the study of canon lawmore than any other subject26. There are also several books of civil law and, to a lesser degree, of theol-ogy, medicine and liberal arts.

5.1. Law books

5.1.1. DecretalesThe studium inventory comprised several volumes and commentaries on theDecretals, perhaps the mostimportant source of medieval canon law. This included one volume of the First Book of Decretals; fourvolumes of the Decretals printed by Batista de Tortis27; one manuscript of the Quaestiones supra Decre-talium; one Summa Decretalium28; two volumes of Innocent IV’s Commentary on the First Book of Dec-retals29; four volumes of the Commentary on the Decretals and one Novellae sive Commentarius on theThird Book of the Decretals by Giovanni d’Andrea30; two volumes (most-likely the Commentaries) byHenri Bohic31; the first part of the Commentary on the Decretals by Baldus de Ubaldis32; one volume ofthe Commentary on the Decretals by the Cardinal Francesco Zabarella33, and three volumes by FelinoMaria Sandeo34. It also included the Commentaries on the Decretals by the Abbates, namely five volumesof the Abbas Antiquus35; eight volumes of the Abbas Modernus36; three volumes of the Abbas; one secondpart of the Abbas and one fourth part of the Abbas (the later three referring to the Abbas Modernus).In addition, there is also one volume containing the second part of the Summa Aurea by the Car-

dinal Hostiensis37; one commentary on the lecture De Translatione episcoporum usque ad titulu de of-ficio episcopatus by Antonio da Budrio38 (included in one of the volumes of the Commentaries on the


27 Probably, it should refer to one of the following editions: 1485, 1496, 1499 or 1500 (ISAÍAS DA ROSA PEREIRA, A livrariado Estudo no início do século XVI, «Arquivo de Bibliografia Portuguesa», 37-38 (1964-66), p. 157).

28 Compiled by the Italian canonist Bernard of Pavia (Bernardus Papiensis, c. 1150-1213), later bishop of Pavia, who iswidely recognised by his Summa Decretalium and the Breviarium Extravagantium.

29 The Pope Innocent IV (papacy: 1243-1254), who studied canon law at Bologna, composed a well-known Apparatus inquinque libros decretalium, generally known as Innocent.

30 Giovanni d’Andrea (c. 1270-1348) was an Italian canonist of the Trecento, professor of canon and civil law at Bologna,Padua and Pisa, who wrote a renowned gloss on the Decretals which earned him the title of «iuris canonici fons et tuba».

31 Henri Bohic (c. 1310-c. 1350) was a native of Brittany who graduated in canon law from the University of Paris andwrote one famous In quinque decretalium libros commentaria.

32 Baldus de Ubaldis (Baldo degli Ubaldi, 1327-1400) was probably one the leading figures of medieval civil law; a disci-ple of Bartolus of Saxoferrato at Bologna, he was later professor at Padua, Perugia and Pisa, writing several commentaries onthe major civil and canon law books of his time.

33 Francesco Zabarella (1346-1417) was bishop of Florence (city in whose university he graduated in canon law) and pseu-do-cardinal of the Catholic Church; a disciple of Antonio da Budrio (along wih Domenico da San Gimignano), he wrote anumber of books in canon law, including the Commentary on the Decretals and the Lecture on the Clementines. In the inven-tory, he is simply referred as «the Cardinal».

34 Felino Maria Sandeo (1444-1503), often known under his Latin name of Felinus, was professor of canon law at Ferraraand Pisa, before being appointed bishop of Lucca. He was widely known by his Commentaria in varios titulos libri I, II, IV etV Decretalium (most-likely the book referenced in the inventory).

35 The Abbas Antiquus refers to Bernard de Montmirat (c. 1225-1296), a canonist, abbot of the Abbey of Saint Peter inMontmajour (Arles, France), who penned a Commentary on the Decretals of Gregory IX.

36 The Abbas Modernus or Abbas Recentior was the Benedictine monk Niccolò de’ Tudeschi (1386-1445), also called Ab-bas Siculus (being a native of Sicily), Abbas Panormitanus (from the Greek name of Palermo) or simply Abbas, who studied atBologna under Francesco Zabarella and became a doctor of canon law, teaching in Bologna, Florence, Parma and Siena. HisLectura in Decretales earned him the title of «lucerna iuris».

37 Henry of Segusio (Enrico da Susa, c. 1200-1271), cardinal-bishop of Ostia (and hence his nameHostiensis), was an Ital-ian canonist of the Trecento who wrote, besides the Commentaries on the Decretals of Gregory IX and Innocent IV, the Summasuper titulis Decretalium, also known as Summa Aurea.

38 Antonio da Budrio (1338-1408) was an Italian canonist who graduated at Bologna and later taught at Bologna, Fer-rara, Florence and Perugia. A disciple of Pietro d’Ancarano, he composed several Commentaries on the Decretals of Gregoy IXand Commentaries on the Sextus.


Decretals by the Abbas Modernus) and one Repertorium aureum in rubricas decretalium by LodovicoBolognino39.

5.1.2. Sextus DecretaliumIn regards to the Sixth Book of the Decretals, there were five volumes of the Sextus (one incunabulum byTortis and four manuscripts, one of which includes the Clementines) and three commentaries to the firstpart and two commentaries to the second part of the Sextus by Domenico da San Gimignano40.

5.1.3. ClementinaeAbout the Constitutiones Clementinae (Constitutions of Clement V), there is one text of the Clementinesincluded in a manuscript of the Sextus, besides one Commentary by the Cardinal Zabarella. In addition,there is also one manuscript by Jesselin de Cassagnes, thought to be the Commentary on the Clemen-tines41.

5.1.4. Decretum GratianiConcerning the Decretum Gratiani, a compilation of canon law compiled by Gratian, part of the Cor-pus Iuris Canonici and commonly used as textbook, there were two incunabula of theDecretum by Batistade Tortis and one Commentary on the Decretum by the Archdeacon (of Bologna42), along with one Bre-viarium Extravagantium by Bernard of Pavia.

5.1.5. Codex JustinianusThe major codification of Roman law, ordered by Eastern Emperor Justinian I in the early-sixth centu-ry and later incorporated in the Corpus Iuris Civilis, included one manuscript of the Codex, one Com-mentary on the Codex and one unnamed volume (perhaps the Summa Codicis) by Azan or Azenonius (thePortuguese name of Azzo of Bologna43), and one Codex by Johannes de Colonia44.

5.1.6. Institutiones JustinianiThe Institutes of Justinian, another branch of the Corpus Iuris Civilis and based upon the Institutes ofGaius (an ancient Roman jurist), were also present in the inventories: there were one printed incuna-bulum by Tortis and another manuscript version of the book.


39 Ludovico Bolognino (1446-1508) was an Italian jurist, professor of law at Bologna and Ferrara. His Repertorium aureumin rubricas Decretalium was widely read and was printed by Bernardinus de Tridino in Venice, in 1488.

40 Domenico da San Gimignano (c. 1375-1424) graduated in canon law at Bologna, where he later taught; a disciple ofAntonio da Budrio (along with Francesco Zabarella), he wrote some Commentaria in Librum Sextum and Distinctiones superDecreto.

41 Jesselin de Cassagnes (deceased in 1334) was a French canonist and professor at the University of Montpellier; his Com-mentary on the Clementines was widely known during his own lifetime.

42 Guido da Baisio (c. 1250-1313) was an Italian canonist who served for a long period as archdeacon of Bologna (hencehis name); he wrote a famous Commentary on the Decretum known as the Rosario Decretorum.

43 Azzo (or Azolenus) of Bologna (in Italian, Azzone or Azoleno, c. 1150-c. 1220) was a major Italian jurist of the late-twelfth and early-thirteenth centuries, graduated from the University of Bologna, and became famous by his Summa Co-dicis, which soon became known as the major textbook for a jurist; he also produced several Glossae on the Corpus IurisCivilis.

44 Johannes of Colonia seems to have been a German printer established in Venice in the last-quarter of the fifteenthcentury.


5.1.7. The Digest (Pandects)The Digest or Pandects was a compilation of Roman law ordered by the Emperor Justinian I, spanning50 volumes. The inventories mentioned one manuscript of the Digesto Novus and one Commentary onthe second part of the Digesto Novus by Bartolus of Saxoferrato45.

5.1.8. RepertoriaThe inventories also included several repertoria, including one by Petrus Brixiensis46, one by Jacobus Al-varottus47, two by Nicolò de Milis48, three Bertochinos (that is, the Repertorium by Giovanni Bertachi-ni49), theMargarita Baldi50 and finally one Repertorium of the Commentary of the Abbas Modernus by An-tonio Corsetti51.

5.1.9. Other law booksThe inventories also included several books without title, referred only by the name of its authors, thuspreventing a conclusive identification of its subject. These include one manuscript volume by Baldus;two incunabula and five manuscripts by Bartolus; one volume by Bartolomeo da Saliceto (either theCommentary on the Codex or on the Digest)52, one by Alessandro Tartagni da Imola53 and another by Vi-tale de Cambanis54. Additionally, they also comprised some other treatises and compilations, namelythree or four volumes of the Speculum Iudiciale by Guilhelmo Espiculador (that is, Guillaume Durand,the so-called «Speculator»55), including one Repertorium; one Consilia sive Iuris Responsa by Pietro d’An-


45 Bartolus of Saxoferrato (Bartolo da Sassoferrato, 1314-1357) was an probably one of the leading Italian jurists of the Tre-cento. A graduate of the University of Bologna, he earned a doctorate in civil law and he later taught at Pisa and Perugia, whereBaldus de Ubaldis became his pupil.

46 Petrus Brixiensis was the Latinised name of the bishop of Brescia, Pietro del Monte (c. 1440-1457). A jurist and hu-manist, he became widely known by his Repertorium utriusque iuris, which went through several printed editions in the late-fifteenth century (Nuremberg, 1476; Venice, 1480).

47 Jacobus Alvarottus (Iacopo Alvarotti, 1385-1453), a teacher of law at the University of Padua, authored several com-mentaries on the Libri feudorum and on the Consilia.

48 Giovanni Nicolò de Milis (fl. 1440) was a doctor of law and auditor at Rome, famous by his Repertorium Iuris Civilis(also known as Repertorium Aureum).

49 Giovanni Bertachini (1448-1497) was a doctor of law and lawyer at Rome. His Repertorium was amongst the most well-known repertoria and went through several editions (even during his lifetime): Rome (1481), Nuremberg (1483), Milan (1485and 1489), Venice (1488, 1494, 1500 and 1507) and Lyon (1499, 1525 and 1532).

50 TheMargarita Nova Baldi was the name given to the Repertorium of the Commentary on the Decretals compiled by Bal-dus.

51 Antonio Corsetti (1450-1503) was a Sicilian canonist, professor of canon law at Bologna and Padua, who eventually be-came an auditor at Rome and bishop of Malta.

52 Bartolomeo da Saliceto (deceased in 1411) was an Italian jurist, graduated from the University of Bologna, where he al-so taught (counting Pietro d’Ancarano as one of his students). He wrote several commentaries to the first nine books of theCorpus Iuris Civilis and to the Digestum Vetus.

53 Alessandro Tartagni da Imola (1424-1477) was an Italian jurist and canonist who studied at Bologna and later taughtat Bologna, Ferrara, Padua and Pavia. He wrote several commentaries on the Digest, the Codex and the Decretals, in additionto seven books of Consilia.

54 We have very few information regarding Vitale de Cambanis (who lived during the fifteenth century). He becamerenowned by his Tractatus clausularum.

55 Guillaume Durand (c. 1230-1296) was a French canonist who studied law at Bologna and later became bishop ofMende, in Southern France. His main work is the Speculum Iudiciale, composed around 1271 and which earned him the so-briquet of the Speculator.


carano56; one Tractatus de Maleficiis by Angelo Gambiglioni d’Arezzo57 and one volume of the Repetitionesby Palacios Rubios58. Finally, the inventory also mentioned one Vocabularium Iuris and one volume ofthe Fourth Book of Ancient Ordinances (most probably the Ordenações Afonsinas, a compilation of lawsedited during the reign of King Afonso V, in 1446, eventually superseded by the new ordinances pub-lished by King Manuel I, the Ordenações Manuelinas, between 1512 and 1520).

5.2. Theology books

5.2.1. Liturgical books and commentariesThe studium inventory encompasses some books of liturgy, such as one bible, one Breviarium Romanum,two Vitae Christi, one lexicon on the Bible (Mammotrectus super Bibliam59) and one volume of com-mentaries on the Bible by Nicolas de Lyre60.

5.2.2. Thomas Aquinas’ booksOne of the most representative authors in this inventory was certainly the Doctor Angelicus, the Do-minican friar Saint Thomas Aquinas, including one volume of the Summa Theologica, one volume withthe First Part and two volumes with the Second Part of the Summa Theologica, and finally one Commen-tary on the Ethics (that is, the Nicomachean Ethics of Aristotle).

5.2.3. Other theology booksThe inventory includes other theology books, some of them named after its subjects, such as four smalltreatises of theology; one volume on divine power; one old manuscript about marriage and one volumeof philosophy on the life of men. In addition, there was also a Rationale Theologicum and a book calledDimeta on the theology shelves; however we were unable to determine the exact nature of the last one.

5.3.Medicine books

The inventory indicates an unnamed manuscript on medicine, in addition to two treatises of medicine


56 Pietro d’Ancarano (c. 1330-1416), called «anchora iuris», was an Italian scholar who studied both laws at Bologna; hewas a disciple of both Baldus and Bartolomeo da Saliceto and later became the master of Antonio da Budrio. He was active-ly engaged in the resolution of the Western Schism, defending conciliarism. His Consilia became highly celebrated and wereprinted in Rome (1474) and Pavia (1496).

57 Angelo Gambiglioni d’Arezzo (1400-1461) was an Italian jurist, known by his Commentary on the Institutes of Jus-tinian and especially by his Tractatus de Maleficiis (1438), the most popular and widespread treatise on criminal law andprocedure.

58 Juan López de Palacios Rubios (1450-1524) was a Castilian jurist who was professor at Salamanca and Valladolid. Hewrote several treatises, including the Libellus de Insulis Oceanis (justifying the conquests of Castile in America) and the Repe-titio rubricae et capituli per vestras de donationibus inter virum et uxorem, commonly known as Repetitiones, a book regardingdonations between spouses and which went through several editions (Valladolid, 1503; Salamanca, 1523).

59 TheMammotrectus super Bibliam was composed by John Marchesinus (Giovanni Marchesini da Reggio, fl. 1300) an Ital-ian Franciscan friar. This book became widespread in the fifteenth century, going through several printed editions (Mainz,1470; Strasbourg, 1474, 1494).

60 Nicolas de Lyre (c. 1270-1349) was a French Franciscan friar, graduated from the University of Paris with a degree intheology. His major work was the Postillae perpetuae in universam S. Scripturam (1331), a voluminous exegetic work on theVulgate, which went through several printed editions (Rome, 1471; Basel, 1498).


by Gentile Gentili da Foligno61 and one volume by Marsilio da Padova62. After these books, there is al-so a volume in the medicine «shelf», simply referred as Gabriel Petri (Gabriele di Pietro); we think itmight be a medicine book printed by the late-fifteenth century Venice-based printer bearing the samename, possibly a volume by Pietro d’Abano63, whose books were among those printed by Gabriele diPietro.

5.4. Liberal arts (rhetoric and poetry) books

Lastly, the inventory mentions only three books related to the liberal arts, including one volume of theArs Dictaminis (most-likely by Alberico di Montecassino64), one volume about poetry and rhetoric by acertain Franciscus Maxentius and one manuscript of the Barbarismus by Aelius Donatus65.

6. Conclusion

After the careful analysis of these inventories, and despite the huge predominance of law books overthose of theology and medicine, we realise that the library of the Portuguese studium generale contained,nonetheless, a significant number of books – including several commentaries to the Decretals, the Di-gest, the Codex, the Clementines, the Instituta, the Novella and other repertories and juridical books; al-so the Summa Theologica was among the most successful books of the library – as well as authors. Mostof them are Italians, including Alberico di Montecassino, Alessandro Tartagni da Imola, Angelo Gam-biglioni, Antonio da Budrio, Azzo, Baldus, Bartolus, Bartolomeo da Saliceto, Domenico da SanGimignano, Francesco Zabarella, Gentile Gentili da Foligno, Giovanni d’Andrea, Giovanni Bertachini,the Archdeacon Guido da Baisio, the Cardinal Hostiensis, Pope Innocence IV, Marsilio da Padova,Nicolò de’ Tudeschi, Pietro d’Abano, Pietro d’Ancarano andThomas Aquinas; however, a few French au-thors are also counted among the names in the inventory, including Bernard de Montmirat, GuillaumeDurand, Henri Bohic, Jesselin de Cassagnes and Nicolas de Lyre. In addition, one Castillian author(Palacios Rubios) and one ancient writer (Aelius Donatus) are also named. Curiously, none of them isPortuguese. Several books and authors are repeated in the inventory, while some series are not complet-


61 Gentile Gentili da Foligno (deceased in 1348) was a disciple of Pietro d’Abano at Padua and later became a professorof medicine at Bologna, Siena and Perugia. He is particularly remembered by his long Commentary on the Canon of Medicineby Avicenna, along with some other treatises, such as the Consilia, De statu hominum, De lepra, De febribus, or De divisione li-brorum Galeni.

62 Marsilio da Padova (1275-1342) was an Italian philosopher and physician. A disciple of Pietro d’Abano at Padua, he isspecially remembered by his political works, namely the Defensor pacis; in fact, «medical writings by Marsilius, if such workswere ever written, have not survived. However, theDefensor pacis alludes to his medical knowledge […]» (TAKASHI SHOGIMEN,Medicine and the body politic in Marsilius of Padua’s Defensor Pacis, in A Companion to Marsilius of Padua, ed. by GERSONMORENO-RIAÑO and CARY J. NEDERMAN, Leiden, Brill, 2012, p. 71).

63 Pietro d’Abano (Petrus de Apono, Petrus Aponensis, c. 1250-c. 1316) was an Italian philosopher, astrologer and physicianwho taught at Padua, where Gentile da Foligno became his pupil. His most famous book, Conciliator differentiarum, quae in-ter philosophos et medicos versantur (1303), was printed in Venice by Gabriele di Pietro da Treviso in 1476.

64 Alberico di Montecassino (c. 1030-c. 1105) was an Italian Benedictine monk at the Abbey of Montecassino. He wroteseveral books on theology and also the first-known treatise on the Ars Dictaminis.

65 Aelius Donatus (fl. fourth century AD) was a Roman grammarian and teacher of rhetoric, who later became teacher ofSaint Jerome. He wrote a famous Ars Grammatica, which include one treatise called Barbarismus.


ed. It is impossible to deduce which were the most widely read books; the overwhelming presence ofcanon law books only seems to confirm that most of the scholars preferred that field of knowledge in-stead of theology, medicine or the liberal arts.However, this also raises the question of understanding how the library was formed. Were the books

acquired through wills, donations or purchases? It is highly likely that the core of this library might havebeen the 128 books that Diogo Lopes donated to the university’s library in his will. The presence of se-veral incunabula printed outside of Portugal (such as those volumes clearly identified as printed by Tor-tis) bear witness to the widespread circulation of books among the literate. In addition, the presence ofthese incunabula might indicate the possible acquisition or donation to the library by a single indivi-dual. It would be of great interest to compare these inventories with the catalogue of manuscripts andincunabula preserved at the General Library of the University of Coimbra (which inherited the patrimonyand the assets of the medieval university of Lisbon from 1537 onwards) in order to assess the survival ofsome of these books up today.One can argue that the library of the studium of Lisbon was relatively small when compared with oth-

er university libraries of the same period, due to its peripheral status within the medieval Christendom.The library of the University of Salamanca – which was the closest to Lisbon – had begun with nearlytwo hundred books when it was established, in the second-half of the fifteenth century; Cambridge, es-tablished earlier, has only 122 books in a catalogue dated 1422. The analysed inventories showed us alibrary that was certainly a humble one if compared with some Transpyrenaic university libraries but itwas, nonetheless, a very suitable library for the dimension of the Portuguese studium. Furthermore, asthere is no concrete evidence that might prove its existence during the fifteenth century, we can acceptthat it was founded only in the early-sixteenth century, much later than some of the largest Europeanuniversity libraries were established.
