This article studies the reception of the works by Boccaccio in the Jurists of the Renaissance, from 1400 to 1640. This topic never has been systematically studied and here a general prospective is proposed by searching quotations to Boccaccio into the legal works. The article attempts to answer four questions: 1) What jurists quoted Boccaccio?; 2) What orientation did these Jurists have?; 3) In what kind of works did the Jurists mention Boccaccio?; 4) Which works of Boccaccio were most cited by Jurists? After the examination of more than a five hundred printed legal works from incunabula to 1640, a chronological and thematic classification is proposed, in order to show the multifaceted reception of Boccaccio among Jurists.
