Gottlieb Gerhard Titius

Gottlieb Gerhard Titius (1661 to 1714) was a German jurist, born in Nordhausen in Thuringia on 5 June 1661, who died in Leipzig on 10 April 1714. A student of Christian Thomasius, he taught Roman law at Leipzig University, where he was on the faculty from 1688. He edited De jure naturae et gentium, a treatise by Samuel von Pufendorf, and wrote a commentary on Pufendorf's De officio. His own works include the Specimen juris publici Romano-Germanici of 1698 and the Observationes in Pufendorfii libros de officiis hominis et civis of 1703. His work influenced Jean Barbeyrac.
