Paucapalea (LC) |
Biography/Description |
|
A pupil of Gratian and the author of the first commentary on the Decretum, written c.1146–50. Paucapalea also produced a small number of single glosses on Gratian’s work. He is also said to have been responsible for the final arrangement of Pars I and III of the Decretum, which he subdivided into distinctiones. The claim that he was chiefly responsible for the inclusion of paleae has not found general acceptance among the scholars, though it is known that P. was responsible for some of them. Of Paucapalea’s life we know nothing. |
