Johannes Sichardus (1499 Tauberbischofsheim – 1552 Tübingen,[1] also known as Sichart, Sichard, Sichardt[2]) was a humanist, jurist and law professor at the University of Türbingen.
[5] He also lectured on law on the recommendation of Claudius Cantiuncula [de] and Zasius, after Bonifacius Amerbach had declined.
[7] Being recommended by Zasius, Sichardus felt obliged to lecture in support of legal humanism.
[10] In 1528 the Brevarium Alaricum was printed by Henric Petri,[9] but Sichard thought it was the Codex Theodosianus.
[13] In 1535 he received a call to the University of Tübingen, where he would earn a hundred guilders at the beginning but within two years of teaching, his salary was doubled.
[15] Attempts to recruit him by the city of Nuremberg were unsuccessful but in 1544 the Duke of Wurttemberg Ulrich appointed him the advisor to the duchy for ten years.
