Pope of the Roman Empire. Reigned 1572-85. Born in Bologna. Studied law and became a professor at the University of Bologna. Renowned for his scholarship. Became a cardinal in 65 and succeeded Pius V as pope in 72. Continuing the Counter-Reformation line of his predecessors, he encouraged the study of various sciences in order to provide academic support for the reform of church institutions. He founded several seminaries, including the Gregoriana University in Rome, and trained and sent out many missionaries. He also completed the revision of the Code of Canon Law, which he had already begun, and was the first to publish it under the title Corpus Juris Canonici.

1502‐85
ローマ教皇。在位1572‐85年。ボローニャに生まれる。法律を学び，ボローニャ大学の教授となる。その学識は著名。65年枢機卿となり，ピウス5世の後を受けて72年教皇となる。先任諸教皇の反宗教改革的路線を継いで，教会の諸制度の改革を学問的に裏づけるため，諸学を奨励した。ローマのグレゴリアーナ大学を初め，いくつもの神学院を創設し，多くの宣教師を養成し派遣した。すでに着手されていた教会法典の改訂も完成させ，《コルプス･ユリス･カノニキ》という表題を初めて用いて発布した。
