Biography/Description |
Bolognese canonist and later highly ranked official of the Church. Innocent III made him cardinal in 1206, and in 1213 he received the bishopric of Albano. He died in 1230 at Montecassino. Several of his glosses (signed ‘pe.’ or ‘pel.’) on the Decretum survive in a Vatican manuscript. We know about his teachings on Compilatio prima not only from several independent glosses preserved in a text at Modena, but also through references in the apparatus of Vincentius. He also influenced the drafting of constitutions for León, issued by Pope Honorius in 1224. |
