Antonio Agustín y Albanell (1517–1586), also referred to as Augustinus, was a Spanish Humanist historian, jurist, theologian, scholar, bibliophile, and Roman Catholicarchbishop of Tarragona, who pioneered the historical research of the sources of canon law.[1]
Agustín is now primarily remembered as the first canon law historian; Peter Landau counts him among the other authors that enabled us to consider the 16th century the founding age of the science of history.
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.
Agustín assembled an extensive library of 1,808 volumes, including 272 Greek manuscripts, 561 Latin manuscripts, and 975 printed works.[5] He also founded printing presses in both Lérida and Tarragona, bringing the printer Felipe Mey from Valencia to operate the latter.[6] After his death, portions of his library were distributed to the Vatican and the El Escorial monastery.[7]
