Biography/Description

A brief confessional manual by an author who identifies himself as ‘Richardus’ in the prologue. He designed the work as a guide for theologians. In the manuscript from Kynzwart, it appears appended to the Decretum versificatum of Werner of Schussenried (Suebia), which was completed in 1207. The Summa was probably written not much later. Moreover, since it refers once to the penitential Summa of Petrus Capuano (the Younger), it must have been written after 1201/2. An abbreviated version of Richardus’ treatise later circulated as the Summa Pseudo-Prepositini.
