Bartholomew of San Concordio (b. at San Concordia, near Pisa
about 1260; d. at Pisa, 11 June 1347) was an Italian Dominican
canonist and man of letters.
. He is variously called "Pisana", "Pisanella", "Bartholomaea", and "Magistruccia".
(d. 1314). Bartholomew arranged Rumsik's topic in alphabetical order, and added material on canon law
.
Bartholomew's treatise was clear and concise, and it conformed to the newer laws and canons of his time. Evidently a highly useful digest, it was very popular and much used during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, and was among the first books undertaken by some of the earliest printers of Germany, France, and Italy. Nicholas of Osimo
, O.M., added a supplement in 1444, which also appeared in many editions. Others likewise incorporated the work in later handbooks, notably James of Ascoli, O. M., 1464, and Ange de Clavasio, O.M., in his "Summa Angelica".
Apart from several MSS. on moral and literary subjects, his works include "De documentis antiquorum", edited by Albertus Clarius, O. P. (Tarvisi, 1601) in 8 vo. The same treatise in the vernacular, "Ammaestramenti degli antichi" (Florence, 1662), came to be regarded as a Tuscan classic.
