[1693] pp. 9-15 presents in table form another guide to
Gregorian titles that were impacted by later legislation, but
these tables suffer from a distressing number of typographical
errors (well, at least in the 9th edition of 1849 they do.)

The Glossa Ordinaria
on the Decretals of
Gregory were written by Bernard of Parma
in the 1260s. See
generally: S. Kuttner and B. Smalley, "The Glossa Ordinaria
to the Gregorian Decretals", English Historical Review 60
(1945) 97-105; and S. Kuttner, "Notes on the Glossa
Ordinaria of Bernard of Parma", Bulletin of Medieval
Canon Law 11 (1981) 86-93. |

Canon Law * Ius Decretalium * Friedberg edition
The Quinque Libri
Decretalium
of
St. Raymond Peñafort
The key to unlocking the structure of the
Ius Novissimum is to know
that it was organized around St. Raymond of Peñafort's
"Liber Extra", composed in five books, those books in turn being divided into various titles,
each consisting of "caputs" or provisions.
From its promulgation by Pope Gregory IX in September 1234, until the
Pio-Benedictine Code came into full force in May 1918, the
Quinque Libri Decretalium was the
basic canon law of the Catholic Church. An authoritative collection—not a
code—of canons, the QLD (a title ascribed by the ages, not by St. Raymond or
Pope Gregory) followed a still older five-part division of canonical topics:
Iudex, Iudicium, Clerus, Connubia/Sponsalia, Crimen (Judge, Trial, Cleric,
Marriage, Crime). Raymond’s five books were divided into 185 “titles”,
themselves made up of 1,871 “chapters” (though this number is mildly disputed).

St. Raymond’s QLD was sometimes called the “Liber Extra” (abbreviated “X”),
meaning it held those matters then “outside” (Latin: extra) of Gratian’s
great Concordia Discordantium Canonum (~1140). The QLD was, in
relatively short order, supplemented by two authoritative documents, the
Liber Sextus (1298) of Pope
Boniface VIII (abbreviated “in VI°”, referring to its being the “sixth” book
outside of St. Raymond’s so-called Five Books) and the
Clementinae (1317) of Pope John
XXII (abbreviated “in Clem.”, after the pope who tried to promulgate them before
Pope John XXII had rightly to correct them). Both of these authentic collections
followed the plan of the QLD but, being much shorter, there are many places
where the QLD are not supplemented by either the Liber Sextus or the Clementinae.
Still later, private authors complied short lists of papal decretals that were
“wandering around outside” of even these authentic collections, the
Extravagantes Johannis XXII (~1326)
and the Extravagantes Communes
(1500), both of which follow the QLD order and are regarded as belonging to the
general Corpus Iuris Canonici. Commentators on the QLD were known as
“Decretalists” to distinguish them from “Decretists” or commentators on
Gratian’s so-called Decretum.
The most accessible (but controverted) version of the QLD today, and the one used herein, is that
of Aemilius Friedberg, first published under his editorship from 1879-1881, most
recently reprinted in 1959.
The main function of these tables is to
indicate at a glance where each title of the QLD might, or might not, have been
supplemented by a later part of the Corpus Iuris Canonici. Numbers after
each title indicates how many chapters there are in that title of the Decretals,
while numbers in columns refer to column numbers in the Friedberg edition.
