Kryštof Josef Hollandt (? - 1713) was a Moravian lawyer and professor of law at University of Olomouc in years 1695-1707, author of a commentary on the Institutes of Justinian.

Kryštof Josef Hollandt graduated Faculty of Philosophy of University of Olomouc and faculties of law of University of Vienna and Charles University.[1]

He became Professor of Law at the University of Olomouc in 1695. Unlike his predecessors, who taught only secular law, he started teaching also canon law. The Jesuits, who were leading the University at the time, however considered canon law as their own domain and filed a protest by the emperor. Consequently, in 1696 the emperor Leopold I issued a Decree authorizing the lectures of canon law by Hollandt (however, this covered only the lectures of canon law to the law students, the theology students continued to have separate lectures of canon law at the Faculty of Theology until 1771).

Hollandt had to leave the post in 1707 due to mental illness.[1] Despite that Hollandt managed to publish his own commentary on the institutiones named Examen iuridicum in Olomouc in 1711.[2]
