Albericus de Rosciate was an Italian legal scholar and practicing jurist born around 1290 who died in 1354 or 1360. He studied law at the University of Padua, worked as a lawyer in Bergamo, served the Visconti rulers of Milan, and acted as an ambassador to the papal court at Avignon. His writings won him a high reputation, especially among practical jurists; his commentaries on the Digest and the Codex were frequently reprinted across Europe, notably in Lyon and Milan, and his Dictionarium, a collection of legal maxims and a legal dictionary, became widely circulated, shaping legal education and practice through the medieval and early modern periods.
