Azo (Jurist)
Azo (before 1190—after 1220) was an influential Italian jurist and a member of the school of the so-called glossators . He wrote glosses on all parts of the Corpus Iuris Civilis. His most influential work is his Summa Codicis, a summary of the civil law organized according to the order of Justinian's Code . This book did not only enjoy great authority among generations of continental lawyers. It was also used (and often copied verbatim) by Henry Bracton in his account of English law.
