Ordinaturus Magister

1180s

Biography/Description

An important apparatus to Gratian’s Decretum which was composed and used in the Bolognese law-school. Ordinaturus magister was the equivalent of the ‘Ordinary gloss’ until it was superseded by the gloss of Johannes Teutonicus (1215). The influence of this apparatus extended to the Glossa Palatina (1210–15) and to Johannes’s gloss itself. Ordinaturus magister was probably not composed by a single author, but rather represents the outcome of a collective effort at the Bolognese schools. Rudolf Weigand has argued that Huguccio and his followers exerted a decisive influence on the first recension (c.1180), and were also largely responsible for its revision towards the close of the 1180s.

Manuscript

(It is doubtful that any manuscript contains Ordinaturus magister in a complete form. Rudolf Weigand considered Erlangen, Universitätsbibl. 342 as the best representative of the first recension, Munich, Clm 10244 (to be consulted along with a Jena manuscript), as the fullest copy of the second recension. The remaining copies have had more or less of the apparatus erased, as is typical of a text being constantly reshaped. All in all, Weigand associates about 16 manuscripts with the first, and about 5 manuscripts with the second version of Ordinaturus Magister. There are another twenty copies which contain parts of the apparatus. However, Weigand never published a comprehensive list of them.)
