[with] DALEN, Michael de.","description":"\u003cp\u003e.Excellent, crisp copies, rubricated and in contemporary boards still retaining the original wooden pegs, of the first editions of two important legal commentaries on the  Decretals . These were collections of papal decrees, issued regularly throughout the middle ages for the use of jurists, which regulated the functions, structure, personnel and law of the Catholic Church. They offer priceless insight into the everyday legal and theological questions of the age. A precious reference work, this copy was bequeathed by Jacobus Wilhelmus to the library of Nieuwe Kerk, Delft, c.1500, where it was probably chained.. \u003cbr\u003e\n. \u003cbr\u003e\n..Bartolomeo da Brescia (d.1258) studied canon law at Bologna and was the author of numerous legal works. Written when Bartolomeo was still a student,  Casus decretorum  - a revised and enlarged version of Benincasa da Arezzo s (d.1206)  Casus decretum  - is a commentary on the  Decretum , a legal textbook by the C12 jurist Gratian and one of the 6 works that formed the  Corpus Juris Canonici . Later Bartolomeo wrote the standard  Glossa  used for centuries, based on the work of Johannes Teutonicus.  Casus  reprises Gratian s subdivisions into  distinctio ,  causa  and  questio , and deals with a great variety of  cases  spanning the office of bishops, monks and priests, synods, the resignation of a pope, and various regulations pertaining to clerics concerning questions as wide-ranging as property ownership, inheritance and fornication. Little is known of the canonist Michael de Dalen, author of this commentary on two important collections of  Decretals  which followed those of Gregory IX. The  Liber Sextus Decretalium  was issued under Pope Boniface VIII in 1258 and the  Constitutiones Clementis V  under Clement V in 1314. They were the last collections of decretals overseen by a Pope. Together with Gregory s  Decretals , they formed part of the  Corpus Juris Civilis . They discuss all kinds of questions pertaining to the life of clerics, e.g., illegitimate children, monetary transactions, oaths, burials, offices, tithes, the mass, simony, etc. Two very handsome incunables, beautifully preserved..\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BARTOLOMEUS BRIXIENSIS.
