Pandulf of Pisa

Pandulf of Pisa[1] was a twelfth-century Italian Cardinal, and biographer of several contemporary popes;[2] these biographies belonged to the Liber Pontificalis. He was nephew of Hugo of Alatri.[3] Works attributed to him appeared in the Rerum Italicarum scriptores by Ludovico Antonio Muratori; some of those attributions have been changed.

According to Robinson[4] Pandulf's biography of Gelasius II is inaccurate in electoral details, and had a polemic purpose relating to the schism of 1130.[5] Pandulf is thought to have been an intimate friend of Gelasius, and in the schism after 1130 supported antipope Anacletus II against Innocent II. Anacletus named him cardinal-deacon of SS. Cosma e Damiano; as such, he signed the bulls of this antipope on February 8, 1131, December 7, 1134 and March 21, 1137.[6]
