Pavlos Kalligas

Pavlos Kalligas, born in Smyrna in 1814, was the son of a wealthy merchant from Cephalonia and of a Mavrokordatos from Chios. He studied law in Munich, Heidelberg and Berlin, where he attended Savigny's lectures, and pursued in Athens a public career with hardly an equivalent: professor of Roman law at the university, deputy then president of the Chamber, minister of Foreign Affairs, of Education, of Finance and of Justice, and finally governor of the National Bank. He left a treatise on Roman law in five volumes, completed in 1876, and a biography of Evgenios Voulgaris. He died in Athens in 1896.
