constructive role in continuing the redemptive mission of Christ. Pope John Paul II

Overview

 

 

Resource Page on Ferraris, Prompta Bibliotheca

 

This page orients researchers to the world's first true Catholic encyclopedia, the Prompta Bibliotheca, produced in 1746 by Lucius Ferraris, an Italian Franciscan canonist.

 

Overview

 

 

Revised at least twice during the author's lifetime, it was updated more than once through the 19th and into the early 20th centuries. While containing much that is not canon law, its canonical entries are excellent starting places for research into late Ius Novissimum canonistics. Obviously, Ferraris' canonical entries are alphabetical in order, not decretal. All entries are written in Latin, double-columns, 55-60 lines each, 5-8 words to the line; a few contain quotes in Italian. See brief biographies of Lucius Ferraris, below, and that by Ortolan, DTC V/2 2175.

 

Page numbers below taken from:

 

F. Lucii Ferraris (d. 1763?), Prompta Bibliotheca canonica, juridica, moralis, theologia, nec non ascetica, polemica, rubricistica, historica, editio novissima, in 7 vols., [1746] (Typis Abbatiae Montis Casini, 1844). While pagination varies according to to edition, I listed page numbers below to give one a sense of how large or small specific entries are. I corrected for many pagination errors in the edition I used.

 

Use this page to determine quickly whether a given topic was treated in Prompta Biblioteca, and if so, where.

 

 

 

The symbol " + " indicates supplemental

or appendix material available at the end

of that same volume.

 

Note that many entries have additions provided

"ex aliena manu", etc.

Special thanks to my daughter Catherine for

her help with many of

the tedious aspects

of this project!

from my blog, In the Light of the Law (1 January 2007)

 

To move forward better, try looking back. Way back.

Say, to 1746, when Lucius Ferraris, an Italian Franciscan, published the world's first Catholic encyclopedia, the Prompta Bibliotheca canonica, juridica, moralis, theologia, nec non ascetica, polemica, rubricistica, historica, in 7 hefty volumes. I first became interested in the Prompta as a resource for late decretal canon law, but one can open up to almost any of its nearly 700 article-length entries and find something interesting. Besides canon law, liturgy and sacraments figure prominently in the Prompta, as do systematics, morals, and legal philosophy.

 

There are plenty of copies of the Prompta Bibliotheca in libraries around the world, but their yellowing pages and densely printed, double-columned Latin text discourage many would-be researchers from even asking whether topics of interest to them might have been treated by Ferraris. For that unfortunality, I now offer a simple solution.

 

As part of my project to bring decretal law to a wider audience, I have just posted all of the title entries in Ferraris' Prompta Bibliotheca edition of 1844. Additionally, the several score topical headings that referred readers to various Prompta entries are also included. In short, one now need only search a single webpage to determine whether a given topic was treated in Ferraris' gift to the posterity.

 


 

 

Supplemental volumes are available. The best known is that of J. Bucceroni (1841-1918), Lucii Ferraris Promptae bibliothecae supplementum continens recentiora acta S. Sedis et recentiores resolutiones ac decreta SS. romanarum congregationum (Romae: Ex Typographia polyglotta, 1899).

 

Lucius Ferraris. An eighteenth-century canonist of the Franciscan Order. The exact dates of his birth and death are unknown, but he was born at Solero, near Alessandria in Northern Italy. He was also professor, provincial of his order, and consultor of the Holy Office. It would seem he died before 1763. He is the author of the Prompta Bibliotheca canonica, juridica, moralis, theologica, necnon ascetica, polemica, rubricistica, historica, a veritable encyclopedia of religious knowledge. The first edition of this work appeared at Bologna, in 1746. A second edition, much enlarged, also a third, were published by the author himself. The fourth edition, dating from 1763 seems to have been published after his death. This, like those which followed it, contains the additions which the author had made to the second edition under the title of additiones auctoris, and also other enlargements (additiones ex aliena manu) inserted in their respective places in the body of the work (and no longer in the appendix as in the former editions) and supplements. The various editions thus differ from each other. The most recent are: that of the Benedictines (Naples, 1844-55), reproduced by Migne (Paris, 1861-1863), and an edition published at Paris 1884. A new edition was published at Rome in 1899 at the press of the Propaganda in eight volumes, with a volume of supplements, edited by the Jesuit Bucceroni, containing several dissertations and the recent and important documents of the Holy See. This supplement serves to keep up to date the work of Ferraris, which will ever remain a precious mine of information, although it is sometimes possible to reproach the author with laxism. A. Van Hove, from the on-line Catholic Encyclopedia at New Advent.
