Irnerius was largely forgotten until his name was revived by German historians of the later 19th century and came to prominence with the celebrations marking the [[octocentennial]] of the University of Bologna.<ref>F.

Anders Winroth has questioned much of the received account of Irnerius' life as well as his importance to the history of Roman law in the Middle Ages.<ref>Anders Winroth, ''The Making of Gratian's Decretum'' (Cambridge, 2000)</ref>
