Eguinaire Baron

Eguinaire François, Baron de Kerlouan (1495–1550) was a French jurist.

Baro studied law in Poitiers, Paris, Orléans and Bourges, probably with Alciati.

Together with Budaeus, Alciati, Connan and others, Baro was among the founders of Humanist jurisprudence in France.

He was the first to refer to the ius gallicum, French law, as such, and pioneered the use of paratitla, brief summaries of Pandects titles, in his Ad Digesta seu Pandectas Manualium libri septem.

His other works include extensive commentaries and monographs on Roman and feudal law.
