Biography/Description |
A collection of seventy-four decretals dating from 1295–1483. This collection was made by Jean Chappuis. He completed an early version including only seventy decretals in 1500, and the final version with four additional decretals in 1503. Chappuis included the Extravagantes communes with his Corpus iuris canonici. This work did not circulate widely until it was included in the Editio Romana of 1582. This collection includes Boniface VIII’s famous decretal, Unam sanctam. |
