(Albericus), professor of civil law at Oxford; an Italian by birth. He had quitted Italy with his father, on account of religion. He wrote several works; three books, in particular, De jure belli, which have not been unserviceable to Grotius. He died Gentilis, at London in 1608.

Gentilis (Scipio), brother to the former, and as celebrated a civilian as he, forsook his native country that he might openly profess the Protestant religion. He was counsellor of the city of Nuremberg, and professor of law with uncommon reputation. He was a great humanist; and in his lectures, as well as books, mixed the flowers of polite learning with the thorns of the law. He died in 1616.
