Antonio Massa, notary, lawyer and author of a number of legal works, he was active in the sixteenth century in Rome, where he worked as a lawyer at the highest levels.

Antonio Massa, notaio, avvocato e autore di un buon numero di opere giuridiche, fu attivo nel XVI secolo a Roma, dove esercitò l’avvocatura ai massimi livelli. All’attività professionale egli affiancò una nutrita produzione scientifica, dando alle stampe trattati su argomenti disparati, la cui diffusione è testimoniata dalle edizioni che si succedettero per tutto il XVII secolo. La figura che emerge dalle opere del Massa è quella di un giurista, da un lato, pienamente partecipe della temperie umanistica, ammiratore di Alciato e frequentatore dei circoli umanistici romani, dall’altro, attento alle esigenze della prassi giudiziaria e dunque, inevitabilmente, seguace del paradigma dialettico delle scienze giuridiche.

Abstract
Antonio Massa, notary, lawyer and author of a number of legal works, he was active in the sixteenth century in Rome, where he worked as a lawyer at the highest levels. Professional activity he joined by a large scientific production, giving the prints processed on diverse subjects, the disclosure of which is demonstrated by the issues that succeeded one another throughout the seventeenth century. The picture that emerges from the works of Massa is that of a lawyer, on the one hand, a full participant in the climate humanist, an admirer of Alciato goer and humanist circles Romans, on the other hand, attentive to the needs of judicial practice and therefore, inevitably, a follower the dialectic paradigm of legal sciences.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
