Biography/Description |
|
A Portuguese, was a Bolgonese canonist who commented on Gratian and the first two Compilationes antiquae. He also wrote an apparatus on Pastoralis officii, issued by Pope Innocent III to instruct the schools on various aspects of delegate procedure (1204). It is the first full apparatus on a single papal document. In 1229, Pope Gregory IX appointed Silvester archbishop of Braga. He died in Italy in 1244. Besides numerous glosses bearing his siglum, ‘sil.’, we have indirect information about him from his students, of whom Tancred became the most famous. |
