Liber solacii et amenitatis intitulatus viridarium de naturis et proprietatibus rerum et de mirabilibus mundi. Recently brought to light and ascribed to J. by M. Schmitz. J. tells us in the colophon to the autograph codex unicus that he wrote the work when he was still a bachelor (hence, after 1385) and that he is now a doctor (hence, probably after 1418). The base text is probably fairly early in the date range; it contains many marginal additions in the same hand, which are almost certainly later. According to Schmitz, the work owes much to the Liber de natura rerum of Thomas de Cantimpré (1201–1272).

Comprehensorium feudale, p. 1415. A commentary on the LF.

De nobilitate. The ed. Lyon 1516 or 1517 suggests that this is a kind of appendix to the Comprehensorium feudale, but prints it as a separate treatise.

De suitate et extraneitate. The ed. Lyon 1516 or 1517 suggests that this is a kind of appendix to the Comprehensorium feudale, but prints it as a separate treatise. It was later printed without the Comprehensorium feudale.

De mensuris et cuius auctoritate possint. Ascribed to J. in ed. Lyon 1516 or 1517 and accepted by Giordanengo as J’s.

De moneta. Not ascribed to J. in ed. Lyon 1516 or 1517, but later ascribed to him (e.g., TUI 1584). It would appear to be the work of Jordanus Buc(s)i (?Bucci), whom Giordanengo identifies as Jourdain Brès (DHJF 173), a contemporary of J’s in the short-lived parlement of Aix.

De testamentis. A Quaestio (‘Testator quidam suum condidit testamentum et iuravit illud non revocare demum non obstante primo testamento iurato de ipso non revocando aliud fecit testamentum. Queritur nunc quid istororum duorum testamentorum valeat an primum iuratum an secundum.’) attributed to J. in ed. Lyon 1516 or 1517 and accepted by Giordanengo as J’s.

De origine iuris, 1421. According to Gioganengo, of the numerous consilia of J’s that are mentioned by his contemporaries, only two have been found..

Consilia. Two have been found in manuscript but there is evidence of the existence of many more.

Repetitiones. Two have been found in manuscript in addition to De origine iuris.

Lectura Codicis. Survives in at least one manuscript.

Comprehensorium feudale, p. 1415.

t098Txt02Lisboa, BN H.9.8 (?Before 1418; see Dolezalek, Maunscripta juridica. The title ‘Comprehensorium feudale super constitutione imperiali’ and the attribution to a Johannes Raynardus makes the identification virtually certain. Without knowing the basis for the dating of the manuscript but on the basis of what we know of J., we would be inclined to date the work, and hence the manuscript, after 1418, when J. became a doctor of civil law. It is possible, however, that he wrote an earlier version before he received the degree, and we do not know whether the manuscript contains J’s dedication, found in the editio princeps, in which he firmly identifies himself as a doctor.)

t098Txt02Wien, ÖNB Cvpl. 5063, fol. 17–130 (15th c.; see Dolezalek, Maunscripta juridica. The item is described as ‘Repetitio const. “Imperialem decet sollertiam” Friderici I imperatoris’, and it is attributed to one Johannes Rainaldus sive Raimundus. It has, however, the same incipit as the Comprehensorium feudale in the editio princeps.)

t098Txt09Marseille, Arch. mun. Marseille FF15 (This one of two that Giodanengo mentions: ‘une consulation à la ville de Marseille dans un procès interminable contre Jean le Meingre (Boucicault) à propos de la seigneurie de Pennes (1414–1417)’. [One of the reasons why the process was ‘interminable’ may be that Jean was taken prisoner at the battle of Agincourt in 1415 and died in England in 1422.] See Giordanengo, ‘La ville et le bon messire’. The reference is from Schmitz, ‘Le Viridarium de Jean Raynaud’ n. 21. It does not correspond to the catalogue under FF15, but is probably a piece of the article described as ‘1470. Protestations contre des violations de privilèges en matière d’appel. 1350-1470’.)

Comprehensorium feudale, p. 1415.

Comprehensorium feudale. Lyon: Antoine Du Ry, 1516 or 1517, fol. 1r–88v (online). Perhaps derived from a manuscript of the c. 15/m, this would seem to be the editio princeps of all of J’s known printed works, except for the De nobilitate, which had previously appeared in two Paris incunabula. An analysis of its contents, not all of which are by J., is found in the TUI 1584 database.

De nobilitate.

Paris: [Pasquier Bonhomme], 1475 (GW M38778). The handwritten notes in GW confirm that this is an item in a work that is described as ‘Baldus de Ubaldis, De quaestionibus iuris’.

Paris: [Pasquier Bonhomme], 1477 (GW M48687). This would seem to be reprint of the previous item.

Tractatus aureus de nobilitate. Lyon: Antoine Du Ry, 1516 or 1517, fol. 89r–102vb (online).

De suitate et extraneitate.

Tractatus suitatis et extraneitatis. Lyon: Antoine Du Ry, 1516 or 1517, fol. 102vb–106vb (online). The running heads to this point are almost all ‘Comprehensorium feudale’ and ‘Do. Jo. Raynaudi’ or some variation thereof.

Tractatus universi iuris: Tractatus de suitate et extraneitate. Venezia: F. Ziletti, 1584, 8.2.153ra.

De mensuris et cuius auctoritate possint.

De mensuris et cuius auctoritate possint fieri. Lyon: Antoine Du Ry, 1516 or 1517, fol. 107ra–109va (online). The running heads reflect the change of title to ‘De mensuris’.

Tractatus universi iuris: De mensuris et cuius auctoritate fiant. Venezia: F. Ziletti, 1584, 12.223rb.

De moneta.

Materia seu tractus monete seu pecuniarum an debeat inspici valor tempore contractus vel loci. Lyon: Antoine Du Ry, 1516 or 1517, fol. 109va–111va (online). The name of the author ‘Do. Jordanus busi.’ is given in one of the running heads and in the explicit: ‘Tractatus seu questionis determintio do. Jor. Buci. utriusque iuris eximii doctoris ac armate militie strenuus miles ortus super solutione cuiusdam dotis Feliciter finit’.

Tractatus universi iuris: De monetis. Venezia: F. Ziletti, 1584, 12.206rb. The attribution to J. is almost certainly an error.

De testamentis.

De testamentis. Lyon: Antoine Du Ry, 1516 or 1517, fol. 111vb–114rb (online). The incipit is quoted above in Texts; the running heads are ‘De testamentis’; the explicit calls it ‘Opus super validitate testamentorum’. Fol. 114 seems to be misnumbered but it follows fol. 113 and precedes fol. 115, and nothing seems to be missing from the text.

De origine iuris, 1421.

De origine iuris. Lyon: Antoine Du Ry, 1516 or 1517, fol. 147ra–160rb (online). Just before the explicit we find: ‘Omnia tamen predicta submitto emendationi melius speculantis et verius intelligentis Joannes raynaudi legum doctor inter ceteros minimus que compilavi paulative et per inervalla scribendo. Anno domini millesimo ccccxxj’.
