Rolandino of Padua

Rolandino of Padova (1200–1276) was an Italian medieval jurist and writer.

He studied at the University of Bologna, where he was a pupil of Boncompagno da Signa. Later he was a professor of grammar and rhetoric at the University of Padua and a notary for the city's commune.

A supporter of the communal freedom, he wrote the Cronica in factis et circa facta Marchie Trivixane ("Chronicle of the Facts of the March of Treviso"), in which he details the Paduan struggle against Ezzelino III da Romano. He is also a major source for the War of the Castle of Love between Padua and Venice in 1215.[1]

gollark: Fascinating. I don't think this excludes civility when discussing controversial stuff.

gollark: Civil is polite and *formal* now?

gollark: I don't know exactly what you're redacting, but it sounds like you're redefining "civil" wrong.

gollark: Free speech *the principle* is at the extreme end something like "you can say anything ever", which doesn't really work, so mostly I think we should have something like "you can say anything legal, civil, and non-horribly-infohazardous".
