According to Wikipedia, Novella d'Andrea was an Italian legal scholar and professor in law at the University of Bologna. As the daughter of Giovanni d'Andrea, a professor in Canon law at the University of Bologna, she was educated by her father and reportedly took over his lectures at the university during his absence. According to Christine de Pisan, she talked to the students through a curtain so they would not be distracted by her beauty. Some suggest that she married the lawyer Giovanni Calderinus or the professor John of Legnano, but, according to others sources she married the lawyer Filippo Formaglini in 1326. She died young. Her father supposedly gave his work about the decretals of Pope Gregory IX the name Novellae to her memory.
