Abstrakt: In medieval studies, the "Liber legum of Lupus of Ferrières" has long been a firmly associated pair of terms, although the identity of the author is by no means certain and has been repeatedly called into doubt. The paper reconstructs how this opinion has prevailed, and critically examines the arguments put forward in favor of it. Given the paucity of reliable evidence, adherence to the hypothesis seems to be due primarily to the appeal of combining a well-known work with a famous name. Since the sources used for the Liber legum as well as its manuscript tradition clearly point to Italy, it seems most likely that Lupus was an Italian collector of legal texts, who had a personal relationship with the patron of the work, Margrave Eberhard of Friuli.
