  • Antonio Agustín y Albanell (1516-1586), also referred to as Augustinus, was a Humanist historian, jurist and Roman Catholic archbishop of Tarragona who pioneered the historical research of the sources of canon law. Born in Saragossa, Agustín studied law and classical literature in Alcala, Salamanca, Padua and Bologna, notably as a pupil of Andrea Alciati. His first main work, Emendationum et opinionum libri IV, proposed the now widely accepted thesis that the Littera Florentina manuscript was the source for all other copies of the Pandects. This undermined the authority, fundamental to medieval Roman law, of the Latin Vulgate text of the Pandects. With his nomination as auditor of the Sacra Rota Romana in 1544, Agustín started his ecclesiastial career, which saw him become a papal nuncio in 1554/55, then Bishop of Alife in 1556 and Bishop of Lleida in 1561. After participating in the Council of Trient in 1561-63, he was named Archbishop of Tarragona in 1576. Agustín is now principally remembered as the first canon law historian; Peter Landau numbers him among the authors that enable us to consider the 16th century the founding age of the science of history. Agustín's principal historical works are: Antiquae Collectionis Decretalium (1576) De Emendatione Gratiani dialogorum libri duo (1587), a textual criticism of the Gratian Decree Epitome iuris pontificii veteris (1587/1611), a compendium of canon law prior to Innocent III De quibusdam veteris canonum ecclesiasticorum collectoribus iudicium ac censura (1611, posthumously published), a history of the pre-Gratian sources of ecclesiastical law
  • Antonio Agustín i Albanell, Agustinus va ser un historiador, advocat i eclesiàstic; nomenat Nunci, Bisbe d'Alife, Bisbe de Lleida i finalment Arquebisbe de Tarragona. Va ser el pioner en la recerca històrica dels cànons de la llei. Va estudiar dret i literatura clàssica a Alcalá de Henares, Salamanca, Pàdua i Bolònia, on fou deixeble d'Andreas Alciat. El 1544 fou nomenat auditor de la Sacra Rota Romana del Vaticà i deu anys més tard, es convertí en el Nunci del Papa Marcel II, qui poc després l'intitulà Bisbe d'Alife. El 1561 participà al Concili de Trento ja com a Bisbe de Lleida, càrrec que ocupà fins que el 1576 fou ascendit a Arquebisbe de Tarragona.
