Overview

 

 

 Master Page on the Corpus Iuris Canonici

 

The Corpus Iuris Canonici (Body of Canon Law) is a set of six works under which Roman Catholic canon law was organized from the time of Gratian until the promulgation of the Pio-Benedictine Code in 1917, that is, for roughly 800 years.

 

Background

 

The Corpus Iuris Canonici consisted of the:

 

 • Concordia of Gratian (c. 1120-1140), private;

 • Decretals of Gregory IX (1234), official;

 • Liber Sextus of Boniface VIII (1298), official;

 • Clementinae (1317), official;

 • Extravagantes Ioannis XXII (1322), private;

 • Extravagantes communes (1499-1502), private.

 

On the place of the Corpus Iuris Canonci in canonistics see, e.g., A. Van Hove, "Corpus Iuris Canonici", CE IV: 391-394, on-line here; G. Mollat & P. Torquebiau, "Corpus Iuris Canonici", DDC IV: 610-644; L. Boyle, "Corpus Iuris Canonici", NCE2 IV: 272-273.

Original and/or critical editions of the Corpus Iuris Canonici do not exist. The standard presentations of the Corpus are those organized by Aemilius [Emil] Friedberg (1837-1910).
