Biography/Description |
|
Was the author of an abbreviation of the Decretum, in which every excerpt is preceded by a versified rubrique. The author somewhat departed from the usual order of the Decretum in that he placed De penitentia (or, in his own words, De penis) after the end of part II (C.36) (although some twelfth-century manuscripts of the Decretum had done the same thing). Another explanation would be that these two final portions did not stem from Werner himself, as is suggested by the Kynzwart manuscript, which offers them only after the text of the Summa ad iniungendam penitentiam. At any rate, Werner never completed the work, since it ends at De cons. D.2 c.40. According to his own words, he composed it at Vicenza in 1206–7. |
