Biography/Description |
|
Commissioned Tancred, then the leading canonist at Bologna, to compile a collection of his decretals. This became the Compilatio quinta, the last of the Compilationes antiquae and which was sanctioned for use in courts and in teaching in the bull Noue causarum (2 May 1226). Known especially for the decretal Super speculam, which restricted the study of Roman law among clerics. Like a number of very long decretals, Super speculam circulated as a separate text. |
