Biography/Description

Johannes edited the Corpus iuris canonici as it appeared in Paris in 1500–1503. The most important achievement of his edition was the arrangement of what he first called the Extravagantes communes. This compilation of papal decretals issued after 1298 has remained unaltered in the printed versions ever since and became part of the official Corpus iuris canonici (1580).
