About This Item
1552 Medieval LAW Gratianus Decretum Catholic Canon Corpus Juris + Mouchy Gloss
Gratianus, more commonly referred to as the 'Decretum Gratiani' was a 12th-century monk of whom nothing is known other than his work 'Decretum' (hence the moniker). This work is a collection of decrees on Canon Law which became part of the Corpus Juris Canonici. Gratian's work was known to heavily influence the writings of Peter Lombard along with notable anthologies and legal glossaries written in the 14th-16th-centuries. According to Thomas Woods, this work
"served as a model for 12th-century jurists in the formation of western law, based on rational rules and evidence to replace barbaric laws."
Antoine de Mouchy, a 16th-century French scholar, published an important commentary on Gratian. This 1552 de Mouchy edition of Gratian is exceedingly rare. According to the USTC, this book appears in only one institutional holding worldwide!
