"Reiffenstuel enjoys unparalleled respect and is
frequently cited as an approved author both in later canonical
commentaries and in the opinions of the Church's courts. It is
always with regret than an opinion of his is discarded." Edward
Roelker, Invalidating
Laws (1955) p. 119. |

Resources in Nineteenth & Early Twentieth
Century Canon Law
Most recent update 20 Dec 04
The following sources and studies in canon law are
useful in understanding the state of canonistics in the decades
immediately preceding the appearance of the 1917
Code.
The Big Four
Actually,
each of these works was originally published prior to the
19th century, but they were so widely in use through the end of
the "Ius Novissimum" that they need to be listed here
for accuracy's sake.
-
Lucius
Ferraris, Prompta
Bibilioteca canonica, juridica, moralis, theologica, necnon
ascetica, polemica, rubricistica, historica, 7 vols., plus 2 supplemental volumes
(many editions from 1746 thru 1899). Really a multi-volume encyclopedia,
but contains numerous
very important canonical entries and discussions. Franciscan. Widely
cited, a key work.

Canonicum, 4 or 5 volumes, (1674).

H.
Pezzani, Codex Sanctae
Catholicae Romanae Ecclesiae, 3 vols. (1893). One of
several proto-codifications of canon law that
served as models for the eventual project undertaken by
Gasparri. See also similar efforts by de Luise (1873), Pillet
(1890), Russo (1904),
and Collomiati (1898-1907). F. Deshayes, Memento
Juris Ecclesiastici (1894/1897) while grouped with the
above, is more of a manual on canon law, though much of it
would lend itself to use in a code.
