Odo de Doura |
c.1170 |
|
| Alternative Names |
Odo of Dover; Odo von Dover |
Biography/Description |
|
Author of a French Summa on Gratian’s Decretum, which in many respects rather resembles an abbreviatio. This may explain the title Decreta minora, given to it in the only surviving manuscript. Formal similarities with the Summa Coloniensis suggest that Odo composed his work around 1170. At any rate, it is later than the Summa of Stephen of Tournai (c. 1165/66), which Odo already knew. |
