removed for a short time to Rome, where he completed a set of engravings
representing events from the life of St Nilus, and, after returning to
Venice, set out for London in 1764. For nearly forty years he resided in
London, and produced an enormous number of engravings, the best being those
of Clytie, after Annibale Caracci, and of the Virgin and Child, after Carlo
Dolce. A great proportion of them are from the works of Cipriani and
Angelica Kauffmann. Bartolozzi also contributed a number of plates to
Boydell's _Shakespeare Gallery_. In 1802 he was invited to Lisbon as
director of the National Academy. He remained in Portugal till his death.
His son Gaetano Stephano (1757-1821), also an engraver, was the father of
Madame Vestris.

BARTOLUS (1314-1357), Italian jurist, professor of the civil law at the
university of Perugia, and the most famous master of the dialectical school
of jurists, was born in 1314, at Sassoferrato, in the duchy of Urbino, and
hence is generally styled Bartolus de Saxoferrato. His father was
Franciscus Severi, and his mother was of the family of the Alfani. He
studied the civil law first of all under Cinus at Perugia, and afterwards
under Oldradus and Jacobus de Belvisio at Bologna, where he was promoted to
the degree of doctor of civil law in 1334. His great reputation dates from
his appointment to a chair of civil law in the university of Perugia, 1343,
where he lectured for many years, raising the character of the law school
of Perugia to a level with that of Bologna. He died in 1357 at Perugia,
where a magnificent monument recorded the interment of his remains in the
church of San Francisco, by the simple inscription of "Ossa Bartoli."
Bartolus left behind him a great reputation, and many writers have sought
to explain the fact by attributing to him the introduction of the
dialectical method of teaching law; but this method had been employed by
Odofredus, a pupil of Accursius, in the previous century, and the
successors of Odofredus had abused it to an extent which has rendered their
writings in many instances unprofitable to read, the subject matter being
overlaid with dialectical forms. It was the merit of Bartolus, on the other
hand, that he employed the dialectical method with advantage as a teacher,
and discountenanced the abuse of it; but his great reputation was more
probably owing to the circumstance that he revived the exegetical system of
teaching law (which had been [v.03 p.0452]
