CASTRENSIS, PAULUS, an Italian jurist of the 14th century. He studied
under Baldus at Perugia, and was a fellow-pupil with Cardinal Zabarella.
He was admitted to the degree of doctor of civil law in the university
of Avignon, but it is uncertain when he first undertook the duties of a
professor. A tradition, which has been handed down by Panzirolus,
represents him as having taught law for a period of fifty-seven years.
He was professor at Vienna in 1390, at Avignon in 1394, and at Padua in
1429; and, at different periods, at Florence, at Bologna and at Perugia.
He was for some time the vicar-general of Cardinal Zabarella at
Florence, and his eminence as a teacher of canon law may be inferred
from the language of one of his pupils, who styles him "famosissimus
juris utriusque monarca." His most complete treatise is his readings on
the _Digest_, and it appears from a passage in his readings on the
_Digestum Vetus_ that he delivered them at a time when he had been
actively engaged for forty-five years as a teacher of civil law. His
death is generally assigned to 1436, but it appears from an entry in a
MS. of the _Digestum Vetus_, which is extant at Munich, made by the hand
of one of his pupils who styles him "praeceptor meus," that he died on
the 20th of July 1441.

the west of the town, which is also rendered attractive by numerous
fountains fed by a fine aqueduct hewn in the rock. The church of St
Benoit, once a cathedral, and the most important of the churches of
Castres, dates only from the 17th and 18th centuries. The hotel de
