Maddalena Buonsignori was a 14th-century law professor at the University of Bologna.[1]

Buonsignori taught jurisprudence in 1380. Around this time other women were given similar opportunities at Bologna University however this opportunity was unique to the school.[2] She wrote a Latin treatise, De Legibus Connubialibus, in which she explored the legal status of the women in her time from various points of view.
