logicus : logician (teacher of scholastic logic)

decretista : lawyer, jurisconsult, law teacher
auctorista : teacher for classical author (?)

I do not know the last word. It does not appear nor in classical neither in maedieval latin dictionnary. "-ista" is a (non-classical) suffix for designating "the one who does the thing" (or "the one who is an expert for the thing". So a "decretista" sees about "decreta", but that word has a lot of meanings...
One of them is "canon law", espacially when speaking about universities (Niermeyer's dictionnary give as example the Charta of Paris' Universiyy). So that the "auctorista" could be the other one, i.e. the specialist of "civil law"...

Maybe Tom (our "scholasticus") could tell you more....

scientist(scient-ist) = cientista, in Portuguese, but comes from scientia, in Latin.

Yes, of course ; in french too.

If you really want the long and the short of it, the noun suffix -ista/-iste/-ist/etc. (and the corresponding verbal suffix -isare/-iser/-izar/etc.) comes from ancient greek : "kithar-iz-ô" = "to play the zither, "kithar-is-tos" = "zitherist, the one who plays the zither".
