Biography/Description |
|
This decretist commentary, written at Bologna in 1185/86, was discovered by Stephan Kuttner in a Monte Cassino manuscript, where it covers Gratian’s Causa1, Causae 23–26 (the so-called Causae hereticorum) and (fragmentary) De consecratione. Its anonymous author claims to have commented on other parts of the Decretum as well, yet it remains uncertain whether these parts of the work survive. Perhaps, the fragmentary decretist commentary in an Aschaffenburg manuscript (Perg. 26, fol. 218ra–227rb) belongs to the Summa Casinensis. The work gained importance not so much by itself but due to the fact that it came to serve as the standard supplementary text for the unfinished parts of Huguccio’s widely read Summa, from C.23 q.4 c.34 to C.26. It completes Huguccio’s commentary in 12 copies, and thus medieval authors often attributed it to Huguccio himself. Modern students have instead described it as a Continuatio of Huguccio’s work. However, a closer look at the Summa Casinensis suggests that the author based his work on a reportatio of Bazianus’ lectures rather than on those of Huguccio. Concerning the identity of the canonist who composed the work, the text contains many references to Southern Italy, especially Campania. The same is evident in a contemporary decretist writing, the Summa Reginensis, with the result that they may reflect a common teacher. |
