First published in 1484, this is a masterly scholastic exegesis of four principal volumes of canon law: the Liber Sextus of Boniface VIII (1298), the Clementinae, or Liber Septimus Decretalium (1317), the Extravagantes of John XXII (1325) and the Extravagantes Communes of later popes to 1484. Along with Gratian's Decretum Gratiani, or Concordia Discordantium Canonum (1151), these works are known collectively as the Corpus Juris Canonici.
