Biography/Description |
|
The official compilation of decretals and conciliar canons produced after the publication of the Decretales Gregorii IX and promulgated in 1298 by Pope Boniface VIII. Boniface had directed three canonists, Berengarius Fredoli, Guillelmus de Mandagout and Ricardus Petronius de Senis to select and edit the texts for this compilation, which is called the Sext because it is the supplement to the five books of the Decretales. The Sext is especially notable for the inclusion at the end of a series of eighty-eight regule iuris, and for Boniface’s promulgation bull, Sacrosancte Romane Ecclesie, which declares that only the decretals and conciliar canons which were included were to have legal force. Major commentaries on the Liber Sextus were written (after 1300) by the canonists, Alberico da Rosciate, Antonius de Butrio, Baldus de Ubaldis, Benedictus Capra, Bernardus Raimundi Maioricensis, Dominicus de Sancto Geminiano, Giovanni d’Anania, Guido de Baysio, Guilelmus de Monte Laudano, Jean de Bourbon, Jean da Sierck, Jesselin de Cassagnes, Johannes Andreae, Johannes Monachus, Johannes de Sancto Georgio, Lapus Tactus, Martinus Garatus Laudensis, Nicolaus de Tudeschis, Petrus de Ancharano, Petrus de Andlau, Petrus Bertrandus, Petrus Maurocenus and Philipus Franchus de Perusio. |
