Lectura in Decretales, ca. 1436. N. worked on his commentary on the Decretals over a long period of time, and he revised his work continuously. He probably began writing when he started teaching around 1411, and he must have completed it by the time he began to participate in the council of Basel. He did not comment on all parts of the Decretals equally. Even a superficial reading reveals that he expended more time and effort on books two and three than on books one, four, and five. Book one is only a bit less detailed than books two and three; four and five received only rudimentary treatment. He never commented on all of book one; there is no evidence that he wrote on the section from X 1.7 to X 1.28. In the printed editions, this gap is sometimes left blank, sometimes filled in with the gloss of Antonius de Butrio on X 1.9.6 to X 1.28.6, and in a few cases filled in with an apparatus from an unknown jurist which has been falsely (and deliberately) attributed to N. See Pennington, ‘Panormitanus’ Lectura’, and Pennington, ‘Nicolaus de Tudeschis’, for the details. A preliminary list of additiones marked in the manuscript as being by N. may be found in Pennington, ‘Nicolaus de Tudeschis’.

Lectura in Sextum. Pennington, ‘Nicolaus de Tudeschis’ casts considerable doubt on the genuineness of this work, which is not attested in the manuscripts so far examined. As discussed below in Early Editions, it now seems likely that the work is a ‘phantom’. Schulte was mislead by Hain who, in turn, was mislead by an unknown cataloguer. Schulte’s citation of ed. Venice 1592 also seems to be mistaken.

Notae et allegationes in Clementinas. N.’s treatment of the Clementines, as the title suggests, was not exhaustive. We do not know exactly when he wrote it, but we can assume, because it was based on the ordinary gloss to the Clementines, that it was the product of his teaching.

Commentaria ad Decretum, ca. 1436. Antony Black discovered an unfinished commentary on the Decretum in a manuscript in Lucca and published a description of the text in 1970 (’Panormitanus on the Decretum’). The late fifteenth-century jurist, Felinus Sandeus had written a work entitled ‘Additiones ad principiatum ab Abbate opus in Decretum’, and the Lucca manuscript was probably a part of his collection when he was archbishop of Lucca. N. began writing the work in Basel on 18 December 1436 according to his preface. Because, most likely, of the turbulent politics at Basel and, as he noted, because of a lack of books at hand, his commentary ended with D.1 of the Decretum. In this extensive fragment, N. discussed the theology and jurisprudence of natural law, equity, and positive law. According to Black, who is the only scholar to have examined the manuscript in detail, N. cited the Archdeacon, Aristotle, and Thomas Aquinas frequently.

Consilia. The vulgate text in the sixteenth century contained two books of consilia, the first of 108, the second of 118 consilia each. Not all the consilia were N.’s. The first incunabula editions contained between 104 and 107 consilia. The Pescia edition published 118 and was entitled Consilia secundi voluminis. In subsequent editions, these two printing traditions were combined. Andrea Romano (’Consilium’) has examined Lucca, Biblioteca Capitolare Feliniana, 162, which contains a large number of N.’s consilia. The first half of the manuscript contains consilia that were included in the first incunabula editions. Romano dates them to the period 1425–1436. The second half of the manuscript (fol. 137r–277v) contains consilia from the “second volume.” (Romano, ‘Consilium’ 589 n.15.) Daniela Novarese found and printed a consilium in Palermo, Biblioteca Comunale 3.Qq.C.45 that he wrote after he became archbishop of Palermo. (’De aqua sancti Cosmani’, 140–45.) As the manuscript tradition is explored, more unedited consilia will undoubtedly be discovered.

Repetitiones. N. wrote several repetitiones that were inserted into his commentaries on the Decretals, into his consilia, or printed separately. The following list makes no pretence of completeness. Murano, ‘I codici Vat. lat. 2551 e 2552’ lists another, dated in 1415.

On X 1.2.10 (Ecclesia Sanctae Mariae, De constitutionibus), 1424 or 1425. Dated in Siena in 1424 according to BSB Clm 7438 or in Siena in 1425 according to BAV Vat. lat. 2247.

On X 1.43.9 (Per tuas litteras, De arbitris). Dated in Bologna according to Lucca, Biblioteca Capitolare Feliniana 160 found by Murano, ‘I codici Vat. lat. 2551 e Vat lat. 2552’ note 45.

On X 2.2.4 (Si quis contra clericum, De foro competenti), 1419. Dated in Siena in 1419 according to ed. Köln 1477.

On X 3.5.30 (Exstirpandae, De praebendis).

On X 3.26.10 (Cum esses, De testamentis).

Disputationes, quaestiones, allegationes. The titles of the printed editions vary from Quaestiones et disputationes to Desceptationes et allegationes. The early editions contain either six (Venezia 1487) or seven quaestiones (Köln 1477) dated between 1421 (1418, if Lefebvre’s dating of Duo clerici is correct) and 1430. The sixteenth-century editions usually contain seven quaestiones, and they are usually printed with the consilia. Both the printing and the manuscript history remain to be sorted out. We list them here in the order of ed. Köln 1477, noting the order and date given in Lefebvre, ‘Panormitain’ 1204. Another list with rubrics transcribed from Lucca, Biblioteca Capitolare Feliniana 160 may be found in Murano, ‘I codici Vat. lat. 2551 e Vat lat. 2552’.

Quaestio ‘Sempronius clericus’. Lefebvre, ‘Panormitain’ 1204: 3. Sempronius clericus. No place or date. Incipit: ‘Sempronius clericus bona patrimonialia obtinens ad curiam Romanam proficiscens episcopatum a Romano pontifice obtinuit ad propriaque regressus cum cuiusdam hospitalis rectore eidemque per patrimonium duntaxat profecto multifarie contraxit ac inventario de bonis episcopatus non confecto quedam ipsius episcopatus bona locavit pro pluribus futuris annis superioris auctoritate intercedente pensionem recipiens.’ No rubric.

Quaestio ‘Titius clericus’, 1424. Lefebvre, ‘Panormitain’ 1204: 4. Titus clericus (Siena, January 25, 1424). The date must be 1424 because the Council was not yet convened in January 1423. Incipit: ‘Titius clericus ex sui beneficii ecclesiastici redditibus patrimonio conservato vitam ducens ab eodem beneficio abiectus extitit et spolitatus existens dicto beneficio renunciauit sponte sibimet postmodum restitutionem petenti.’ Rubric [in fine]: ‘Hec questio disputata fuit per dominum Nicolaum de Sicilia decretorum doctorem famosissimum im amplo Senensi studio anno domini M.cccc.xxiii. [sic] die vero vicesima quinta Januarii et ad utranque partem dubiorum respondit spectabilis et generosus vir dominus Gandolfus Dyay [sic] Aragonensis in iure canonico eleganter peritus. Et intererant in disputationis actu prelatorum magistrorum et doctorum copia quia Senas concilii generalis causa venerant’.

Quaestio ‘Augerio patronatum’, 1427. Lefebvre, ‘Panormitain’ 1204: 5. Augerio patronatum (Siena 1427). Incipit: ‘Augerio patronatum in basilica Nichostrati iure sibi dilatum Plaucius laicus mera liberalitate contulit ad eandem vacantem patrono neglecto, imminente adhuc tempore electionis et presentationis a iure statuto antistes actorem clericum instituit quadrimestri denique elapso Plaucius filio herede superstite diem persolvit extremum quo minime accersito donationem paternam et ratificavit episcopus.’ Rubric: ‘Disputata fuit hec questio per dominum Nicolaum de Sicilia Momacen. abbatem et decretorum doctorem in famosissimo Senarum studio anno domini Millesimo quadringentesimo vicesimo septimo et ad utranque partem dubiorum respondit subtilissimus scholaris dominus Jonannes de Alemania nunc vero doctor egregius’.

Quaestio ‘Gandulfus clericus’, 1430. Lefebvre, ‘Panormitain’ 1204: 6. Gandulphus (Siena, 1430). Incipit: ‘Gandulfus clericus scolarium Senensium pro maiori parte laicorum rector Lambertum Florentium clericum eiusdem universitatis scolarem in mille ex depositi causa condemnavit a cuius sententia ad Senensem episcopum appellat Lambertus Gandolfo rectori.’ Rubric: ‘Disputatio fuit hec supradicta per dominum Nicolaum de Sicilia abbatem et decretorum doctorem in felici Senen. studio anno domini M.cccc.xxx. ad utranque partem dubiorum respondit auditor meus benivolus dominus Franciscus archipresbyter Funden’.

Quaestio ‘Episcopus et quidam rector’, 1426. Incipit: ‘Episcopus et quidam rector Pronien. per Romanum pontificem eorum prelaturis nulla rationabili causa privati ad futurum concilium appellaverunt, congregato concilio an prefata appellatio esset admittenda.’ Rubric [in fine]: ‘Disputata fuerunt hec dubia per dominum Nicolaum de Sicilia abbatem Momacen. et decretorum doctorem Senis legentem anno domini M.cccc.xxvi. in ecclesia Sancti Marci et ad utranque partem dubiorum summe respondit vir notabilis et magne scientie dominus Robertus de Calcantibus de Florentia auditor meus benignus.’

Lefebvre, ‘Panormitain’ 1204: 1. Episcopus et quidam rector curatus (Siena, April 25, 1426). Usually printed as the first in the editions of N.’s quaestiones. Manuscripts examined by Valois (1.218 n.4) suggest a date of April of 1426 (contrary to Watanabe’s [225 n.33] date of 1437). The quaestio dealt with papal authority and supported papal prerogatives within the church before N. became involved in ecclesiastical politics. As such Tedeschi has compared it with the sermon/speech “Quoniam veritas,” which dates from 1442. See Tedeschi, ‘Nicolò dei Tedeschi’ 453 n. 4; cf. Lefebvre, ‘L’enseignement’ 318 n.31. For Robertus de Calvalcantibus, who apparently moved with Panormitanus to Florence, see A. Gherardi, Statuti dell’Università e studio fiorentino dell’anno MCCCLXXXVII seguiti da un’appendice di documenti dal MCCCXX al MCCCCLXXII (Florence 1881; repr. Bologna 1973), document dated November 17, 1432.

Quaestio ‘Stante statuto’, 1421. Lefebvre, ‘Panormitain’ 1204: 2. Stante statuto condito (Siena, January 29, 1421). Incipit: ‘Stante statuto condito in Italia prohibente minores xxv. annis obligari sine certa solennitate observata quia postposito eodem statuto posito quod contractus ipsi in quibus reperientur minores obligati sint ficticii et simulati et pro ficticiis et simulatis habeantur nec valet iuramentum super eis prestitum.’ Rubric [in fine]: ‘Disputata fuit hec questio per dominum Nicolaum de Sicilia decretorum doctorem in famosissimo studio Senarum et ad utranque partem dubiorum respondit peritissimus vir dominus Petrus Antonii auditor meus civis et canonicus Senen. anno domini M.ccccxxi. die vero xxviiii. Januarii’.

Quaestio ‘Duo clerici ordine insigniti’. Lefebvre, ‘Panormitain’ 1204: 7. Duo clericali charactere insigniti (Parma, 1418). Incipit: ‘Duo clerici ordine insigniti quorum alter exemptionis privilegio erat redimitus se adinvicem invidia vel indignatione percusserunt sicque in sententiam canonis, Si quis suadente, pariter inciderunt.’ No rubric.

Occasional works in connection with the council of Basel, 1433–1442.

Ecce nunc tempus acceptabile, 1433. N. defended the position of Eugenius IV in two sermons given on 9 March and on 13 July, 1433, before the council of Basel. See Lefebvre, ‘L’enseignement’. Mansi prints one of them.

Dicta et nota de potestate concilii et pape, 1433. In 1915, Noël Valois signaled a manuscript in Oxford that contains a treatise that N. composed in Basel during 1433, a collection of texts dealing with the relationship of conciliar and pontifical power. Incipit: “Infrascripta sunt aliqua dicta nota et memoria digna”. See Pennington, ‘Nicolaus de Tudeschis’. No one seems to have looked at this manuscript in almost a century, but it appears to be genuine.

Miratur hec sancta synodus, 1437. This and the following sermon/speech given at the council of Basel show N.’s movement to a more extreme conciliarist position.

Maximum onus, 1438. See immediately above.

Mecum tacitus, 1438. The council sent N. twice to the Frankfut Reichstag to argue for its position. This is the first of his speeches/sermons on the topic.

Tractatus brevis, post 1438. ‘Tractatus brevis domini Panormitani abbatis continens sentenciam suam finalem cui dicunt se nunquam ante contra venisse super depositione sanctissimi domini nostri Eugenii pape quarti facta per Basilienses et super materia translationis concilii Basiliensis ad Ferrariam et exquisite ponit casum in terminis quem bene notes.’ Incipit: ‘Non fuit moris mei.’ This quaestio, edited by R. Zeno in 1908 from Bologna Bibl. Univ. 505 had, although Zeno was unaware of this, been edited by Döllinger in 1863 and attributed to the known papalist, Juan de Palomar, q.v. Modern scholarship accepts Döllinger’s attribution and rejects Zeno’s. See Geschichtsquellen des deutschen Mittelalters, website lasted visited 4 Jun 2012).

Tractatus de concilio Basiliensi: “Quoniam veritas verborum”, 1442. This is the sermon/speech given in the Frankfurt Reichstag to which N. returned in 1442. The work sometimes appears with N.’s Consilia. See Valois, Le pape et le concile, 2.117-122.

Ordo iudiciarius. A work of Johannes Urbach (Auerbach), q.v., Processus iudicii, was attributed to N. by various printers in the period of the incunabula and was reprinted continuously during the sixteenth century. The attribution to Johannes is witnessed in at least one early printed edition and is confirmed in the modern edition of Urbach’s work. A possible connection between Urbach’s work and that of N., who wrote a fulsome commentary on X 2, has not yet been explored.

Thesaurus singularium in iure canonico decisivorum. Nörr and Lefebvre attributed this treatise to N. on the basis of its printing in the Venetian edition of his Opera omnia in 1617. In the absence of manuscript authority, this work can be assigned to N. only with great caution.

Flores utriusque iuris. Schulte included this work among N.’s on the basis of the edition of Köln 1500. In the absence of manuscript authority, this work can be assigned to N. only with great caution.

Commentary on the Digest. The editions of N.’s works of Lyon 1566 and Venezia 1617 credit N. with this work. The attribution is likely spurious.

Venezia, 1581–82. The Ames Foundation has had a digital copy of this edition posted on the Harvard University Library’s Page Delivery Service. Each physical volume has its own URN: (1) (X 1); (2) (X 2); (3) (X 3–5), and (4) (Repertorium, Consilia, Tractatus, Quaestiones, Practica, Clem.). The Foundation has also prepared ‘metadata’ for the entire work.

Lectura in decretales. Venezia, 1582. This may be same as the previous edition. Published on CD Rom: Nicholaus de Tudeschis (Abbas Panormitanus) Commentaria in Decretales Gregorii IX et in Clementinas Epistolas (Edizioni Informatiche; Roma: Il Cigno Galileo Galilei, 2000).

Lectura in Sextum.

Venezia, 1479 (Hain 12335) (GW M47990). GW identifies this book as the same as Hain 12326, which is a later printing of Nicolas Jenson’s edition of X 2. The online edition is incomplete and does not reach the colophon, which could confirm the identification. The dates do, however, match, and it seems unlikely that Jenson could have finished two large books on the same day. Hain had not seen no. 12335. One has to wonder how a cataloguer could have misread ‘sexto’ for ‘secundo’ (Jenson spells out the book number in his colophons), but that seems to have been what happened.

Venezia, 1592. The entries in WorldCat and the two volumes that are available online suggest that this is a reprint of the 1581–82 ed. of P’s complete works. That ed. has nothing on the Sext.

Roma: Johannes Aloisius Tuscanus, Johann Gensberg, 1474 (Hain 12337) (GW M48050).

s.l. [Toulouse]: Heinrich Turner, Johann Parix, s.a. [1476?] (GW M4805110). The cataloguers of the Hispanic Culture Series of the General Microfilm Company suggest that this was printed by Martin Huss, the well-known falsifier of attributions to Nicholaus.

Consilia.

Note: A search of GW for Autor ‘Tudeschis’ and Volltext ‘Consilia’ produced 15 ‘hits’ of which the following seem to be the most significant.

Ferrara: Andreas Belfortis, 1475 (Hain 12344) (GW M47750). Hain reports a composition date for Bologninus’s table of October, 1474.

Ferrara: Petrus de Aranceyo, Johannes de Tornaco, 1475 (Hain *12345) (GW M47753). 104 Consilia by Panormitanus and three by other jurists. The consilia were compiled by Ludovicus Bologninus, professor of civil law at Ferrara: Consilium 1: ‘Facti contingentia talis est: Quidam A. contraxit sponsalia per verba de presenti cum quadam B. et ab ea recepit dotis nomine mille.’ Consilium 104: ‘Placet mihi secunda eximii doctoris domini Benedicti conclusio pro qua ultra per eum allegata adduco auctoritatem Bar. in l. Famem, in fine, de publ. iud. ubi dicit quod quelibet civitas non recognoscens in se superiorem habet liberum populum et merum imperium in seipsa et tantam potestatem habet in populo suo quantum imperator in universo’. The last three consilia are by Hugolinus de Mariscalchis, Johannes de Bandinis de Senis, Ludovicus Bologninus.

Köln: Johann Koelhoff, 1477 (Hain 12346) (GW M47756) (online). The online edition contains, at the beginning of the work, the table of Ludovicus Bologninus, dated at Bologna 10 Oct. 1474.

Venezia: Ludovicus Bologninus, Johann von Köln, Johann Manthen, 1480 (Hain 12347) (GW M47764).

Venezia: Ludovicus Bologninus, Peregrino Pasquale, Dominicus Bertochus, 1486 (Hain *12348) (GW M47773) (online).

Pescia: Robertus Strozius, Petrus Bargetanus, Sigismund Rodt et socii pro Bastiano et Raphaele Orlandis, 1488 (Hain *12352) (GW M47780). 118 Consilia.

Venezia: Jacobus de Paganinis, 1491 (Hain *12353) (GW M47782). 118 Consilia. ‘Infrascripta sunt consilia utilia et quotidiana noviter in lucem edita secundi voluminis reverendi patris preclarissimi iuris pontificii monarce d. Nicolai de Tudeschis abbatis Monacensis Siculi Panormitani.’ Consilium 1: ‘Quidam nomine Cola civis et habitator Fani manifestus usurarius ut probari dicitur, volens suo pudori parcere et sepultura ecclesiastica non carere ac testandi facultate non privari accersitis rectore parrochie notario et testibus sub infrascripta forma cautionem prestitit.’ Consilium 118: ‘In causa seu controversia que ad presens vertitur inter dominam Joannam Mutinensem ex una parte et Simonem de Casonis ex alia, plura conclusive tamen iuxta ordinem sunt videnda’.

s.l. [Strasbourg]: s.e. [Heinrich Eggestein], s.a. (Hain 12343) (GW M47759) (online). GW leaves it undated. 104 numbered consilia, all ascribed to N., with three additional consilia specifically said not to be by N.. The final folio of the online edition contains the text reported by Hain on fol. 117, but does not contain the date (1474), nor does it contain the promised table.

Venezia: Johann Siber, 1500 (Hain 12359) (GW M48058). Also contains quaestiones.

Repetitiones.

Note: Separate early editions of the repetitiones seem to be relatively rare, but there may be a some tucked in uncatalogued at the appropriate place in the editions of the commentary on the decretals, in the consilia, or in the quaestiones.

On X 1.2.10 (Ecclesia Sanctae Mariae, De constitutionibus), 1424 or 1425.

Disputationes. Köln: Johann Koelhoff, 1477, fol. 75v-87v (Hain *12355) (GW M48033) (online).

Venezia: Bernardinus Stagninus, 1491 (Hain 12369, 15601) (GW 10951). A printing of a number of works, principally Goffredus de Trano’s Summa super titulis decretalium; hence, the double Hain number.

On X 1.43.9 (Per tuas litteras, De arbitris).

Consilia. Venezia, 1605, fol. 178v.

On X 2.2.4 (Si quis contra clericum, De foro competenti), 1419.

Venezia: Bernardinus Stagninus, 1491 (Hain 12369, 15601) (GW 10951). A printing of a number of works, principally Goffredus de Trano’s Summa super titulis decretalium; hence, the double Hain number.

On X 3.5.30 (Exstirpandae, De praebendis).

Super Decretalium, III. s.l. [Perugia]: s.e. [Johann Vydenast], s.a. [?1476] (GW M48009). Appendix to commentary on X 3.

Disputationes, quaestiones, allegationes.

Köln: Johann Koelhoff, 1477, fol. 1r-75r (Hain *12355) (GW M48033) (online). Also contains two repetitiones.

Venezia: Johann Herbort, 1483 (Hain *12356) (GW M48029) (online). Not the same order as Köln 1477; begins Episcopus et quidam rector and ends with Gandulfus clericus.

Venezia: Johannes et Gregorius de Gregoriis, 1487 (Hain *12357) (GW M48026) (online). Not the same order as Köln 1477; begins Episcopus et quidam rector and ends with Gandulfus clericus.

Venezia: Johannes et Gregorius de Gregoriis, 1488 (Hain 12361) (GW M48028). Probably a reprinting of the immediately previous ed., if it is separate at all.

Venezia: Baptista de Tortis, 1490 (Hain 12358) (GW M48031) (online). Not the same order as Köln 1477; begins Episcopus et quidam rector and ends with Gandulfus clericus.

Venezia: Johann Siber, 1500 (Hain 12359) (GW M48058) (online). Also contains consilia.

Quaestio ‘Sempronius clericus’.

Sacrorum conciliorum collectio: De suprema papae authoritate. Firenze: J. Mansi, 1759–1798, 30.1186–1188. Partial ed. only; Mansi attributes the work to 1426.

Quaestio ‘Episcopus et quidam rector’, 1426.

Pavia, 1511, fol. 2r-7v.

Consilia, quaestiones et tractatus Panormitani. s.l., 1539, fol. 138r-143r. The edition attributes the work to 1426.

Venezia, 1569, fol. 195r-202v.

Köln, 1577, fol. 125r-132v.

Venezia, 1591, fol. 139r-146r.

Venezia, 1617. Nörr, Kirche und Konzil 6 and n.15, discovered that this ed. contained many interpolations.

Ecce nunc tempus acceptabile, 1433.

Sacrorum conciliorum collectio: Ecce nunc tempus acceptabile. Firenze: J. Mansi, 1759–1798, 30.498–507.

Miratur hec sancta synodus, 1437.

Sacrorum conciliorum collectio: Miratur hec sancta synodus. Firenze: J. Mansi, 1759–1798, 31.237–242.

Sacrorum conciliorum collectio: Maximum onus. Firenze: J. Mansi, 1759–1798, 30.1123–1184.

Tractatus de concilio Basiliensi: “Quoniam veritas verborum”, 1442.

Lyon: s.e. [Vincent de Portonariis], after 1504 (GW M48065). Pennington, ‘Nicolaus de Tudeschis’ notes: ‘“Quoniam veritas” was printed sine loco et sine dato very early and was included in some of the printed editions of his consilia and quaestiones during the sixteenth century. Tedeschi, “Nicolò dei Tedeschi” 453 n.3-5, notes that the tract was defaced in some of the later editions’.

Ordo iudiciarius.

Leuven, 1475 (Hain 12363) (GW 2840). Hain records records seven other editions (H 1260, 1262, 1264-1268) that attribute this work to Panormitanus. See below.

Venezia: Bernardinus de Vitalibus, 1499 (Hain 12366) (GW 2850) (online). Incipit: ‘Celeberrimum opus practice Abbatis Siculi; Practica abbatis’; Incipit: ‘hic eximus iudiciarius ordo; Rex pacificus cunctorum causa effectiva et finalis.’ There seems little doubt that this is, in fact, the Processus iudiciarius of Johannes Auerbach (q.v. s.n. Urbach). H 2126 (GW 02851) Leipzig: Moritz Brandis, [14]89 is clearly the same work and is correctly attributed.

Flores utriusque iuris.
