Antoine Dadin de Hauteserre

Antoine Dadin de Hauteserre (1602 to 1682), also called Dadinus Alteserra, Dadino Alteserra or D'Autreserre, was a French jurist born in Cahors who died in Toulouse. From 1644 he taught law at the University of Toulouse and distinguished himself in civil and canon law. The church awarded him a pension as a reward for his defence of ecclesiastical jurisdiction. His principal work was De fictionibus iuris, published in 1659 and 1679, and his confutation of Charles Fevret's De abusu, in which he defended the church, was published in 1778 at the earliest. His collected works appeared in eleven volumes at Naples between 1777 and 1780.
