Peter of Pisa (744-799) was a grammarian of the Early middle ages. He originally taught at Pavia. After the conquest of the Lombard Kingdom, Charlemagne summoned him to his court to teach Latin. Peter was a friend of Alcuin. He later returned to Italy where he died no later than 799. His work provides us an insight into the workings of Charlemagne's court.
