Summa Monacensis (Inperatorie Maiestati)

Concept and History of Summa Monacensis (Inperatorie maiestati)

a French decretist Summa, written ca. 1175-1178. The work constantly employs distinctions as an explanatory tool, a technique later again adopted by Sicardus of Cremona. While it was formerly thought that the work had originated from Carinthia, far away from the centers of canonistic learning, W. Stelzer has demonstrated that only the copy now in Munich can be associated with that region and the Carinthian native Konrad of Albeck, provost at Brixen (ca. 1173-1183/85).
