Anon., Synopsis Pirhingiana [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 Decretaliumof 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.
