Italian
lawyer
,
jurist
, and a former standing
advocate
to the
Spanish Embassy in London
, who served as the
Regius professor of civil law

international law
, Gentili is perhaps one of the most influential people in legal education ever to have lived. He is one of the four men referred to as the "Father of international law". Gentili has been the earliest writer on
