RAYMOND OF PENYAFORT DECRETALIST

foreword of the work. Raymond introduces his method (modus agendi) as follows: first of all, he divides each part (particula) into titles (rubricete), which sometime are similar to the summaria of Gratian’s Decretimi or to the titles of the Compilationes antiquae; second, he describes the subject matter (materia) of each title; third, he sets out short questions and answers (quaestiones et solu- tiones earum) as well as principles of law (notule iuris ad rubricam); and fourth and last, he provides beginners (rudes) with indications of where different subject matters (materia) are located in the DG and in the decretals collections, both in the texts and in the glosses (tarn in textu quam in glossa). Raymond discussed the teachings of decretists and decretalists, among them Alain (Alarms Anglicus), Bazianus, Bernard (Bernardus Papiensis), Damase (Damasus Hun- garus), Hugh of Pisa (Huguccio), John (Johannes Faventinusl Galensisl Teuto- nicusl), Laurent (Laurentius Hispanus), Martin, Peter (Petrus BeneventanusJ), Tancred (Tancredus) and Vincent (Vincentius Hispanus). The correspondences between the Summa super titulis decretalium arranged by canonist Ambrosius about 1210-1215 and the SIC do not discredit Raymond’s freshness'“. The SIC is a comprehensive treatise on Canon law originally planned in seven parts (par- ticulae): (i) Varie species et dijferentie iuris; (ii) De ministris canonum, differen- tiis et officiis eorundem; (iii) De ordine iudiciario; (iv) De contractibus et rebus tarn ecclesiarum quam clericorum; (v) De criminibus et penis; (vi) De sacramen- tis; (vii) De processione spiritus sancii. Only parts one and two are preserved in the Borghese manuscript, which breaks off in the last title of part two (2.39 De maioritate et obedientia). These two parts could not have been finished before December 1, 1221, since Raymond quotes Ecclesia uestra, a decretal addressed by Honorius III ( 1216-1227) to the chapter of Rouen1''.
