Biography
Giasone del Maino was the illegitimate son of the patrician Andreotto del Maino.Ortensio Landim Paradossi, cioè, Sentenze fuori del comun parere (2000), p. 187 note 11; [https://books.google.com/books?id=WLay9oks0Q8C&pg=PA187 Google Books]. He was brought up in Milan, and studied law at the University of Pavia with the Bartolist jurist Alexander de Tartagnis. He taught at the University of Pavia from 1467 to 1486. After a few years in Padua he returned to Pavia, where he lectured to large classes of Italian, French, and German students. In 1494 he accompanied the Milanese ambassador Erasmo Brasca to the court of Emperor Maximilian. In 1507 he made a speech welcoming Louis XII of France.Jean de Pins, Letters and Letter Fragments (2007), p. 81 note 2; [https://books.google.com/books?id=z0hXjn7pExMC&pg=PA81 Google Books]. In that year Andrea Alciato came to Pavia to study with him and his pupil Filippo Decio.Peter G.

He died in Milan in 1519.
Giasone del Maino belonged to the so-called school of the postglossators, who applied Scholastic methodology to both civil and canon law in order to develop universal legal principles. He distinguished himself for combining this rigorous method with profound Classical scholarship, which made him a forerunner of legal humanism. His commentary on the Digest was one of the most widely used commentaries of the sixteenth century.{{cite book|title=Liberty, Right and Nature.
