Antoine Favre

Antoine Favre, baron of Pérouges (5 October 1557 – 1624) was a Savoisian nobleman and jurist.

After studies in Paris and Turin, he practiced law in Chambéry.

His principal scholarly work is the Codex Fabrianus definitionum forensium (1609), a report of the decisions of his court organised after the Justinian Code.

Favre's other research, conjectures about the Justinian code in which he endeavours to separate the Justinian insertions from the classical Roman texts, is still valued by scholars today.
