Biography/Description |
|
As attested by a letter of Pope Eugene (d.1153), Omnibonus was one of the earliest decretists at Bologna. In 1157, he left his teaching position to receive the bishopric of Verona, where he died in 1185. As a canonist, he composed an Abbreviatio decreti, which differs markedly from the subdivisions usually applied to Gratian’s work. This has led some scholars to believe that he wrote his text at a time when the Decretum had not yet received its definitive shape. Some scholars have suggested a date between 1147 and 1155, while others prefer 1156, the year mentioned once in the Abbreviatio itself. Most recently, Rudolf Weigand has supported the latter date with considerable internal evidence. |
