Overview

Pan-Textual Commentaries on the 1983 Code

For insight into the meaning of Johanno-Pauline law canonists generally turn to one or more of the pan-textual commentaries on the 1983 Code, that is, to commentaries treating all, or nearly all, of the 1983 Code. The works listed here rank among the most important pan-textual commentaries on the 1983 Code.

Background

Most pan-textual commentaries on the Johanno-Pauline Code are written by groups of scholars and follow a common plan, namely, canon-by-canon presentation of (usually) every canon in the Code (sometimes providing the Latin text of the law, sometimes not), followed by private commentary at greater or lesser length. Each entry is specifically identifiable by author, though not always easily (so see tables below); nevertheless when citing modern pan-textual commentaries it is important to identify the specific author of the passage in question. Some works have undergone more than one edition and/or some are translations of works in other languages.

The line between general introductions to canon law (go here) and one-volume commentaries thereon, as listed below, is not always bright; readers must decide for themselves whether the text before them suits their purposes.

Notes for users

Users of this page should be generally familiar with the materials presented on the Masterpage on the Johanno-Pauline Code of 1983 (go here).

The commentaries presented here are divided first by language and then alphabetically by author or editor. The citations consist of four major components: author or editor, title, publisher, and, set off by a square bullet (▪), other information.

Author or editor. Full names of authors and abbreviated names of editors are presented as used in the work (and not alphabetically by surname, a convention rendered unnecessary for electronic searches). When possible, the nationality and ecclesiastical status of the author (but not of editors) at the time of writing the work is given, along with the years of his or her birth and death if available. The authors of or contributors to the works listed here would be considered "approved authors" and/or "learned persons" for purposes of canonical interpretation.

Title. Titles are presented as in the work. If the work underwent later revisions the original year of publication (if known) is given in brackets.

Publisher. The publisher of the work is given in parentheses (but not the city of the publisher, information that is unnecessary, and sometimes misleading, in an age of electronic searches) and, if the work being cited is a revision, the edition number and name of reviser (if known) is given, followed by the year of publication. Page counts (usually exclusive of introductions and indexes) are given for monographic works but not for multi-volume works but for those works the number of volumes is indicated. If the work in question is a translation reference is made to the original title and year of publication if known.

Other information. As warranted and available.

Book reviews

Books reviews—an under-appreciated genre of academic writing—are listed below when they could be located. Bearing in mind that most pan-textual commentaries appeared in multiple volumes over time and that many such volumes went through multiple editions, users should note exactly which volumes and which editions are being discussed in any given review. Book reviews are generally listed in chronological order of appearance. Reviews might be written in a language other than that of the work in question.

The following journals were culled for reviews:

Journal

Angelicum

Apollinaris

Ephemerides Iuris Canonici

Jurist

Studia Canonica

Cunningham, Jurist 56 (1996) 930-938; Notes: Highly regarded though in need of updating now. A separate, one-volume index of the English translation was published but is no longer consulted. ≡ I cite this work as: GB& I Comm (1995), though citing it as Letter & Spirit (1995) also works.

• J. Beal, et al., eds., New Commentary on the Code of Canon Law, (Paulist Press, 2000) 1952 pp. ▪ Review: G. Ingels, Jurist 59 (1999) 278-280. Notes: Some of the commentary (e.g., McManus' commentary on Canon 959 and following) is taken almost verbatim from the 1985 CLSA commentary, but the great majority of this work is new. I cite this work as: CLSA New Comm (2000). It is misleading to cite this work as CLSA Comm2, or some variation on that, because such styling wrongly suggests that this work is simply a second edition of the 1985 version or that it was published in at least two volumes.

• J. Coriden, et al., eds., The Code of Canon Law: A Text and Commentary, (Paulist Press, 1985) 1152 pp. ▪ Reviews: C. Gallagher, Gregorianum 67 (1986) 570-572; R. Ombres, New Blackfriars 67 (1986) 97-99. Notes: Based on the 1982 Schema and concentrating more on issues as they were debated upon during the revision of the law. I cite this work as: CLSA Comm (1985). See also T. Green, "Educating for the new law", CLSA Proceedings 41 (1979) 32-36, for an interesting look at the very earliest steps followed in the preparing what became this (first) CLSA Commentary, all the more interesting because the possibility of a 1980 Schema was not clearly foreseen, and the scope of the subsequent revisions to the primae versiones, 1980 Schema, and of course the 1982 Schema was underestimated.

* The Renken/Griffin bifurcation of Chapter VI in CLSA 2000 is the only instance where a group of canons was divided other than as was done by the Legislator. Renken addressed cc. 515-544, Griffin cc. 545-572.

** A brief introduction to Pars III, but no specific commentary on canons, is provided by Jordan Hite, CLSA 1985, pp. 450-452.
