Summa Reginensis

Concept and History of Summa Reginensis

a Bolognese commentary on the Decretum. The drafting obviously took several years. For the first part, chronological indications do not go beyond the pontificate of Urban III (1185-87), while the latter section (C.27 ff.) cites decretals after Compilatio I (1191). The anonymous author (Petrus Beneventanus?) is obviously influenced by Huguccio, but often proposes doctrinal positions of his own.
