He was professor of civil law in Valencia. Deeply affected by the Reformation, he eventually moved to Geneva and became a Protestant. He died in 1635. According to Schmidt (Aristotle and the Renaissance ), his edition of the Organon became standard. He also wrote a great many legal titles. In addition to this introduction to Lull, he performed a similar service for Ramus. There is some confusion about the first edition of this work but Rogent/Duran spends some time discussing references to earlier printings but finally comes to the conclusio that this is the first edition (V II,158).#11;First Latin edition of this pocket summary of the Lullian art, by the Italian born Aristotelian and legal theorist Giulio Pace. Hillgarth groups PaceOs introduction with that of another jurist, Pierre Gr!goire, as being somewhat exceptional among 17th century interpreters of Lull: both avoid digressions into alchemy, cabalism and magic, and stick more closely to LullOs traditional interests (Ramon Lull and Lullism, p. 294). #11;OThe most distinctive characteristic of LullOs Art is clearly its combinatory nature, which led to both the use of complex, semi-mechanical techniques that sometimes required figures with separately revolving concentric wheelsNOvolvellesO in bibliographical parlanceNand to the symbolic notation of its alphabet. These features justify its classification among the forerunners of both modern symbolic logic and computer science, with its systematically exhaustive consideration of all possible combinations of the material under examination, reduced to a symbolic coding.O ! Pring-Mill in DSB VIII.549. #11;#11;Prospero Farinacci, born October 30, 1544, Rome; died October 30, 1618, Rome.#11;OItalian jurist whose Praxis et Theorica Criminalis (1616) was the strongest influence on penology in Roman-law countries until the reforms of the criminologist-economist Cesare Beccaria (1738!94). The Praxis is most noteworthy as the definitive work on the jurisprudence of torture. #11;After studying law at Padua and earning a reputation as an advocate, Farinacci entered papal service under Clement VIII and was procurator general to Paul V. A staunch churchman, Farinacci upheld the inviolability of the confessional seal (i.e., the guarantee that a confession is between the confessor, the priest, and God alone) against all theories of state necessity.O [EB 11th.]#11;#11;Beuther, Johann Michael (1565-1618) Jurist, professor of jurisprudence in Strassburg. #11; Pace (1) Palau 208040.
