c. 1140 AD
Gratian’s Decretum
Law & constitutions · Derecho canónico, texto y educación
The Decretum, composed around 1140, organized and discussed apparently discordant canons and authorities. It became central to canon-law teaching and practice; it was not papal legislation promulgated as a state code and did not exhaust all sources of ecclesiastical law.
