Biography/Description |
Author of two influential collections of Notabilia on the Compilationes II and III. After a teaching career at Bologna (at least from 1219), he entered the Dominican order in 1221, to become a celebrity as a preacher. In this capacity, he wrote a widely known Summa de penitentia(c.1220–21) and was sent by the Dominicans as a missionary to Hungary (1221) and beyond. He died in 1242. A minority of scholars (e.g. H. Weisweiler) has questioned the identity of the canonist and the Dominican. |

Manuscript | (The work exists in two recensions. Paulus might only have been responsible for the first. Weisweiler has categorized the manuscripts of the original text as the ‘D-Gruppe’, for it contains allegationes to the Decretum and other legal texts, while manuscripts of the second recension belong in the ‘oD-Gruppe’, that is, they are ‘without’ (ohne) the references to the Decretum. The original text is also longer because of an additional section at the end of the virtues and the vices. Weisweiler did not provide a list of all manuscripts falling into these categories, so some manuscripts listed are not confirmed as belonging in one or the other group.) |

Bibliotheca casinensis, IV (Montecassino 1880) 191–215 (online). (According to Weisweiler’s categorization, this is an edition of the original text, the D-Gruppe. The page numbers given here seem to be wrong, but the photography of the online edition is so bad that we cannot correct them. The hyperlink brings you to page 59 of the online copy, which seems to be the first page of MS 184.) |
