Biography/Description

Officially promulgated version of the decisions reached at the Second Council of Lyon (1274). Promulgated by Pope Gregory X in 1275. At least seven different commentaries were written on this collection of constitutiones and nouellae. The apparatus are: 1. an anonymous commentary with the incipit, ‘Hoc dicit quod spiritus sanctus’, written by Sept. 1275; 2. Johannes Anguissola de Cesena by 1275; 3. Boatinus of Mantua (late 1277 or later); 4. Franciscus de Albano, by the Spring of 1277; 5. Garsias Hispanus (the Glossa Ordinaria) in 1282; 6. an anonymous commentary with the incipit, ‘Gregorius salutem. Si qui erant excommunicati non absoluuntur’; and 7. Guillelmus Durandus, written in 1289 or later. This collection was rendered obsolete by the promulgation in 1298 of the Liber Sextus by Boniface VIII.
