Johannes de Imola (Italian: Giovanni Nicolétti,[1] English: John of Imola) (c. 1370 – 1436) was an Italian jurist, a student of Baldus de Ubaldis,[2] Francesco Ramponi and Johannes of Lignano.[3] He taught at Pavia, Siena and Bologna,[4] and was one of the major commentators on the Decretals of Gregory IX[5]
In the Western Schism, he supported the form of conciliarism that deemed the correct resolution of the schism would be for Pope Gregory XII to summon a general council.[6]
He was a strong defender of due process.[4]
