Specialist Notes

Giovanni Andrea Alciato or Alciati (Milan, May 8, 1492 - Pavia, January 12, 1550) was an Italian jurist and teacher, born in the Duchy of Milan. While still a student, he collected most of the Latin epigraphic inscriptions that make up the two books of his Monumentorum veterumque inscriptionum, quae cum Mediolani tum in eius agro adhuc exstant collectanea, work that he considered necessary for the drafting, which he was doing, of a history of Milan from origins in its time, but which remained interrupted in the reign of Valentinian and was published posthumously in 1625 in Milan with the title of Rerum Patriae libri IV.
