Document Summary
During the late middle ages, a new class of jurists arose, called the civilians, divided in two groups: glossators (until 1263, death of accursius) and commentators (from 1263). The endpoint of the glossing activity of the glossators is the glossa ordinaria of accursius, the most relevant figure of this first school of medieval school of law. It represented a gloss apparatus and the reference point for future jurists, originated from interpretation of various authors (accursius, azo, hugolinus de presbiteris). The material was selected from the available glosses, which were then rewritten until sufficiently comprehensible. It was influential in the sense that stopped the whole process. Humanist jurisprudence was a new scholarly method flourished in the early. Modern period, through which roman law was studied. Various critics were brought up against the glossators and commentators, accused of distant interpretation of the roman law and lack of style. Two different legal scholarships arose, namely the mos gallicus and mos italicus.
