IUS CANONICUM - Szabolcs Anzelm Szuromi. O.Praem., Interpretation of the Church's discipline without the former sources?
INTERPRETATION OF THE CHURCH'S DISCIPLINE... 255 cal prescriptions which had been composed in different epochs of Church history were in force at the same time. This caused serious problems in many times for proper application of ecclesiastical jurisprudence. The disciplinary material — organized into chronological or thematic order within the collections - contained several times partly or completely opposite instructions for same cases, because the majority of them was made for a concrete case, but based on different circumstances (geographical, sociological, historical, etc.). Thanks to the development of canon law science, has become possible to absolve this serious problem of canons which had opposite meanings. The most important authors of this revolutionary solution were St. Ivo of Chartres (fill 5)7, Alger of Liège (fl 131 )8 and Master Gratianus.9 Must be mentioned here - besides the indicated scholarly results — that extraordinary important decision of the Fourth Lateran Council (1215) which clarified the hierarchical levels of conciliar legislation and which decrees were promulgated by the Roman Pontiff in the very 2002.

Martin Brett and his contributers (Greta Austin, Bruce Brasington, Linda Fowler-Magerl, Jörg Miiller, Przemystaw Nowak, Christof Rolker, Karl - Georg Schon, Robert Sommerville, Jose Miguel Viejo-Ximénez, Anders Winroth) made significant work on a critical form of Ivo’s texts, which is available via internet: http://ivo-of- chartres.github.io/. The prefatory notes to these edited texts give considerable interpretations - with some new emphasizes - of the development of Ivo’s canonical work. 7 Kretzschmar, R., Alger von Lüttichs Traktat „De misericordia et iustitia" (Quellen und Forschungen zum Recht im Mittelalter 2), Sigmaringen 1985; cf.
