This article appears in Volume V12, Page 384 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GRA-GUI
GRAVINA, GIOVANNI VINCENZO (16641718) , Italian litterateur and jurisconsult, was born at Roggiano, a small town near Cosenza, in
Calabria
 , on the 2oth of January 1664. He was descended from a distinguished family, and under the direction of his maternal uncle, Gregorio Caloprese, who possessed some reputation as a poet and philosopher, received a learned education, after which he studied at Naples civil and
canon
  law. In 1689 he came to Rome, where in 1695 he united with several others of literary tastes in forming the
Academy
  of Arcadians. A schism occurred in the
academy
  in 1711, and Gravina and his followers founded in opposition to it the Academy of Quirina. From Innocent YII. Gravina received the offer of various
ecclesiastical honours, but declined them from a disinclination to enter the clerical profession. In 1699 he was appointed to the chair of civil law in the college of La Sapienza, and in 1703 he was transferred to the chair of
canon
  law. He died at Rome on the 6th of January 1718. He was, the adoptive father of Metastasio.
Gravina is the author of a number of works of
great
  erudition, the
principal
  being his Origines juris
civilis
 , completed in 3 vols. (1713) and his De Romano imperio (1712). A
French
 
translation
  of the former appeared in 1775, of which a second edition was published in 1822. His collected works were published at
Leipzig
  in 1737, and at Naples, with notes by Mascovius, in 1756.
