Biography/Description |
Wrote a Summa on the Decretales Gregorii IX (c. 1265–68). He was most likely a layman and a Roman lawyer and worked at the curia of the patriarch of Jerusalem when he composed the work. Johannes also served as a procurator for the Knights Templar. Johannes’s Summa was an elaboration on the Summa of Goffredus Tranensis. In two places in his Summa, Johannes de Ancona refers to his own commentary on the Libri feudorum, but this work has never been found. Johannes’s Summa was not influential. |
