Mero-Textual Commentaries on the 1917 Code
For additional insights into the meaning of Pio-Benedictine law, canonists, having consulted one or more pan-textual commentaries on the law, often turned to one or more of mero-textual commentaries on the 1917 Code, that is, to commentaries treating entire books of the Code, parts of books, or sections of parts. The works listed here rank among the most important mero-textual commentaries on the 1917 Code.

Background
|
Most mero-textual commentaries on the 1917 Code were written by individual scholars (e.g., Michiels on general norms). A few works originally written by one author were later so extensively revised by another that it is common for them to be referred to by double names (e.g. Lega-Bartocetti on procedures).
Some mero-textual commentaries contain the text of 1917 Code itself but many do not. Most appeared as single volumes (e.g., Schaefer on religious), some in multiple volumes (e.g. Roberti on criminal law). Some of the texts listed here are academic works (dissertations or theses submitted) by students but most are scholarly works produced by established canonists.
Some mero-textual commentaries underwent multiple revisions (sometimes presented as if new editions) making their citation today cumbersome. Mitigating confusion here is the fact that some works were internally divided into 'paragraphs' or 'sections' and usually these numbers remained fairly consistent from edition to edition even if pagination and text changed. Many of these works bore similar, sometimes identical titles, so they are usually known today by the names of their authors, as in, "Have you looked in Chelodi?"
The authors of or contributors to these works would be considered 'approved authors' and/or 'learned persons' for purposes of canonical interpretation. Those works that seemed to have been 'Highly regarded' or 'Well regarded' during the enforcement period of the 1917 Code are so noted.

Notes for users |
Users of this page should be generally familiar with the materials presented on the Masterpage on the Pio-Benedictine Code of 1917, here, and specifically familiar with its discussion of Commentaries, here.
The citations below consist of four major components: author, title, publisher, and, set off by a square bullet (▪), other information.
Author. Names are presented as used (and not alphabetically by surname, a convention rendered unnecessary for electronic searches). The name cited is as it appears in the work, so users should keep in mind that, for example, the Latinization of names might have affected their spelling. When possible, the nationality and ecclesiastical status of the author at the time of writing the work is given, along with the years of his or her birth and death.
Title. Titles are presented as in the work. If the work appeared in multiples volumes, this fact is indicated immediately and, 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 again unnecessary in an age of electronic searches) and the year of publication. If the work being cited is a revision the edition number and name of reviser (if known) is given immediately, followed by the publisher of that edition and its year of publication. Page counts (usually exclusive of introductions and indexes) are given for monographic works but not for multi-volume works.
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: |

• Amleto Cicognani (Italian priest, 1883-1973), Canon Law [1925], (Newman Bookshop, 2° ed., 1934), J. O’Hara & F. Brennan trans. of Cicognani’s Ius Canonicum (1925). ▪ Review: E. Roelker, The Jurist 7 (1947) 439. Notes: The first half of this work is an introduction to the science and history of canon law; the second half (pp. 444-860) is a commentary on Book I of the 1917 Code. ≡ Cicognani biograph.

• Albertus Toso (Italian priest, = ), ad Codicem Jvris Canonici ... Commentaria Minora Comparativa Methodo Digesta (Marietti, 2° ed., 1921) 186 pp. ▪ Review: =. Notes: This work is conveniently known as the Commentaria Minora and seems to have been envisioned as a pan-textual commentary but, in the end, it covered only about one-fourth of the 1917 Code. It was serialized in a disjointed manner in the first few years of the journal Ius Pontificium.
