Schätzwert
$ 6 000 – 9 000
GRATIANUS (d. c.1160). Decretum. Venice: Baptista de Tortis, 30 March 1496.Gratian’s important text on canon law—illuminated and in a contemporary binding. A collection of nearly 4,000 patristic texts, conciliar decrees and Papal pronouncements touching on all fields of church discipline, the Decretum quickly became the authoritative text on canon law, and forming the first part of the Corpus juris canonici. At least 33 incunable editions of Gratian's landmark work are recorded. Practically nothing is known of Gratian's life; he probably became a monk at some stage, although where is unknown and he may have been a consultant to a Papal judge in 1143. Gratian is assigned a place in Paradise by Dante.
