Quaestiones Bambergenses I, is the title given in the Repertorium to a series of decretist quaestiones, dated ca. 1175-78. They have been analysed by Gerard Fransen, who further subdivided them into three groups of different origin. To avoid confusion, he nevertheless retained the conventional name, perhaps also because they contain material that more or less derives from a common source and school. The same connection also extends to other collections, such as the Queastiones Lipsienses, Palatinae, or Pragenses.

EDITION: Sections I.1, and I.3 have been edited by G. Fransen, Traditio 12 (1956) 566-92; the section I.2 by idem, Traditio 13 (1957) 481-501.

Quaestiones Bambergenses II, called as such in the Repertorium, was analysed by Gerard Fransen in 1956. In the same fashion as he did for Bambergenses I, he further subdivided the material into two groups (II.1, II.2). They all derive, however, from the same canonistic background (see Quaestiones Bambergenses I).

EDITION: G. Fransen, Traditio 13 (1957) 481-501, has described the collection; F. Liotta (1971) 135 n.345, has published questio 6.

Quaestiones Bambergenses III, owes its name, like the preceding collections from the same manuscript, to the Repertorium. Gerard Fransen has discerned four sub-groups (III.1-4). For further details as to the collection's origin, see Quaestiones Bambergenses I.

Quaestiones Barcinonenses V, edited by Gerard Fransen under the title Quaestiones Barcinonenses breves, offer a decretist collection which shares some of its material with the Quaestiones Gratianopolitanae, and some with the collection from Aschaffenburg. Gerard Fransen has dated the work around 1160, which would make it one of the oldest representatives of the genre.

Quaestiones Cusanae I, contain a series of quaestiones on marriage, of which three are singed by Bazianus. It is likely that several others also had been disputed at his school. As Gerard Fransen has shown, they were brought into their final shape before the appearance of Compilatio I (1191). While Alfons Stickler believed that the work cited decretals after Compilatio I, Fransen concluded that all of the references point to an earlier decretal collection called Bambergensis (ca. 1185).

Quaestiones decretales Bambergenses I (see Honorius, Summa quaestionum)





Quaestiones decretales Bambergenses II, consist of rather briefly formulated quaestiones which were compiled some time after Compilatio I (1191). They are transmitted, with due variations, in at least seven manuscripts, of which the Klosterneuburg and Bamberg (also Leon) manuscripts on the one hand, and the Vienna and the Zwettl texts on the other, seem to be related particularly closely.

EDITION: An analysis of the 76 quaestiones in the Zwettl and Vienna manuscripts has been published by G. Fransen, Traditio 19 (1963) 520-30, along with a concordance for the other copies, 530-31. Those texts to be found in Klosterneuburg, Bamberg, and Fulda D.7, and not extant in Zwettl and Vienna have been analysed by G. Fransen, Traditio 20 (1964) 496-502, again with a concordance at the end.

Quaestiones Fuldenses is the name given in the Repertorium to a collection of quaestiones in a Fulda manuscript. Gerard Fransen has demonstrated that it combines a series of texts borrowed from the Quaestiones Bambergenses II group (q.1-32) with a set of quaestiones signed by the Bolognese canonist Tancred (q.33-43). This latter portion shows paralells to the Quaestiones Claustroneoburgenses and Senonenses.

EDITION: An analysis of q.1-32 has been given by G. Fransen, Traditio 19 (1963) 516-31; the same article also includes a concordance of q.33-43 with the collections from Klosterneuburg and Sion (531).

Quaestiones Gratianopolitanae, contain an early collection of canonistic quaestiones which cites only one papal decretal (q.242). This suggests a date well before the appearance of Compilatio I in 1191. Many of the texts include references to the Bolognese civilian Martinus, cited alongside with a certain `Johannes'. A. Belloni has identified him with Johannes Bazianus rather than Johannes Faventinus.

EDITION: The text corresponds to q.133-56 of the edition by J. Palmieri, `Quaestiones dominorum Bononiensium, Collectio Gratianopolitana', Bibliotheca iuridica medii aevi 1.2 (Bologna 1914) 233-242.

Quaestiones Londinenses, include 58 canonistic quaestiones of English origin, composed ca. 1196-98. The collection represents one of the most important sources for the teaching activities of several English masters (such as Simon of Southwell, Simon of Derby, John of Kent, John of Tynemouth), whose names occur in the discussions and solutions of many of the quaestiones. A reportatio of disputations held by another English canonist, Nicholas (de Aquila) seems to form the core of the material.

Quaestiones Sedunenses I contain, according to the description of Alfons Stickler (1958), 29 quaestiones. In an article of 1963, Gerard Fransen seems to have combined this collection with the one immediately following (Sedunenses II). Alfons Stickler reports, however, that references to Compilatio IV are absent from this earlier part, and so is the siglum of the Bolongese canonist Tancred. Instead, the Sedunenses I twice mention a certain `R.' (Ricardus Anglicus) and may therefore derive from his school.

EDITION: None; G. Fransen, Traditio 19 (1963) 521-27, has printed the introductory part of five quaestiones.

Quaestiones Sedunenses II, a Bolognese collection compiled in the 1220's, as is suggested by frequent refrences to Tancred and the use of Compilatio IV. Regarding the Tancred material, the work shows strong paralells to the Quaestiones Claustroneoburgenses and Fuldenses.

EDITION: None; G. Fransen, Traditio 19 (1963) 531, has given a concordance of the quaestionescarrying Tancred's siglum, as they appear in the Quaestiones Fuldenses.

Quaestiones Sedunenses III, a Bolognese collection compiled in the 1220's, as is suggested by frequent references to Tancred and the use of Compilatio IV. It remains unclear if the work represents a unit of its own or rather forms a continuation of the former one (Sedunenses II).

Quaestiones Zwettlensis I (see Quaestiones decretales Bambergenses II)





Quaestiones Zwettlensis II, compiled at the school of Vicenza, whence they also appear under the name Vincentinae. There exist close ties between this collection and that of `Ber'(nardus Compostellanus), whose quaestiones in fact appear interpolated into the Zwettlensis II in MS Vienna.

Quoniam omnes quaestionum articuli (see Casus Quoniam omnes)





`Radl.' (Radulphus?), magister (see Garinus)





Rainier of Pisa, nothing is known about this thirteenth century canonist other than that he wrote some quaestiones.

TEXTS: Quaestiones

LITERATURE: J. F. v. Schulte, QL II 175.





Rainier of Pomposa, deacon and monk of the abbey of Pomposa. Rainier compiled his collection of decretals in 1201. It contains 123 chapters taken from letters issued during the first three years of Innocent III's pontificate (1198-1201). Rainier drew directly from the papal registers and arranged his material in 41 titles. They differ considerably from those given in the most important compilation of his days, Compilatio I. His work was later used by other decretal compilers, such as Gilbertus (1202) and Alanus (1206).

Raymond des Arènes (see Cardinalis)





Raymond of Peñafort. (Ramon de Penyafort, Pennaforte), c. 1180-1275. Catalan canon lawyer. After studying, and teaching philosophy, at Barcelona, he went to study law at Bologna sometime between 1210 and 1221. He entered the Dominican order in 1222 after his return to Barcelona. Called to Rome by Gregory IX in 1230, he presided over the commission which compiled the Liber Extra (the authoritative collection of decretals promulgated by the pope in 1234). Returning again to Catalonia, Raymond was confessor to Jaime I of Aragon (1213-76) and prominent in the activities of the Dominican order, of which he was master-general from 1238 to 1240. Thomas Aquinas wrote his Summa contra Gentiles at Raymond's insistence. He was canonised in 1601. Raymond's literary productivity was enormous and so was his success. Besides being commissioned to compile the Decretales Gregorii IX, which were to remain valid church law until 1918, he also had a great influence as the author of a penitential Summa (ca.1222-25/34) and as a leading administrator of his order. A full account of his works would include a large number of minor treatises, many of which were composed after 1234 and outside of the orbit of canon law school. To avoid incompleteness and misattributions, the present survey lists only those titles that have a direct bearing on law. During his brief period as a canonist at Bologna (1218-1221), Raymond wrote a Summa iuris which he never finished. Simultaneously, he lectured on Gratian's Decretum, as is testified by the survival of marginal glosses. There are further glosses on Compilatio IV. After becoming a Dominican, he composed the penitential Summa de casibus. He later revised it. The printed editions regularly added Raymond's Summa de matrimonio (ca. 1235) as Book IV, although the work, consisting of an update of the earlier treatise by the Bolognese canonist Tancred, had circulated separately in medieval manuscripts.

Raynerius de Pisis, a teacher of canon law at Bologna (fl.1285).

Ricardus Anglicus (de Mores), 1161-1242, probably studied (and perhaps taught) law at Lincoln and/or Paris during the 1180's. He taught at Bologna from ca. 1191 to ca. 1202 when he was listed as a canon in the Priory of Merton. From 1202 Ricardus was in the service of Archbishop Hubert Walter of Canterbury along with two other noted canonists, John of Tynemouth and Master Honorius. From 1202 until his death in 1242, Ricardus was prior of Dunstable. Ricardus seems to have been very active in legal matters; Sayers has found forty-eight documents listing him as an officer of the court and Innocent III appointed him judge-delegate in a number of important cases.

Although Ricardus's stay at Bologna was not particularly long, it was very productive. In the years from 1191-1202 Ricardus wrote or revised seven of his eight known works. Johannes Bassianus, a civilian of the 1180's, seems to have had an important influence on Ricardus's work. In his ordo iudiciarius, Ricardus used the `ordo of titles' structure pioneered by Johannes. Also, Ricardus used both Roman and canon law in this work and was later acknowledged by Tancred as having been the first to do so. Ricardus's work seems to have influenced Tancred through the Ordo iudiciarius, and also Laurentius Hispanus, so that he may well have been one of Laurentius's teachers. In fact, Laurentius's first work seems to have been a Distinctiones Decretorum modeled on Ricardus's work, and it is interesting to note that Tancred was Laurentius's student.

MANUSCRIPTS: A. Original version: St. Gall Stiftsbibl. 683, fol. 186-271; Vatican City, Vat lat. 2691, fol. 49r-58vb. B. Revised version: Brussels, BR 131-134, fol. 104-110va; Douai, BM 644, fol. 1r-16v; Fulda, LB D7, fol. 1r-24v; Vercelli BCap. 176, fol. 1r-13ra; Vienna, ÖNB 2163, fol. 25r-42rb; Zwettl 162, fol. 83r-93vb. DISCUSSION: According to Fowler-Magerl, Ricardus composed this work in England or in Paris prior to 1190, and then revised it later in Bologna. The two manuscripts which contain this early version have no rubrics and cite decretals from an unknown canonical collection which was organized in titles, but not in books. This is most likely related to the Anglo-Norman `Bamberg Group' of decretal collections. In the later manuscripts, which show different stages of development, the work is revised by the addition of rubrics and by changing the citation of decretals in conformity with Compilatio prima. See Linda Fowler-Magerl, Ordo iudiciorum vel ordo iudiciarius (Ius Commune Sonderheft 19; Frankfurt am Main 1984) 114-119.

MANUSCRIPTS: Monte Cassino 396 pp. 191-247a; Zwettl 162, fol. 179-213r. See Traditio 11 (1955), 448. DISCUSSION: Ricardus likely composed this work in Paris between 1186 and 1187. It bears resemblance to the Anglo-Norman Summa `Omni qui iuste iudicat' and the Summa quaestionum of Master Honorius.

DISCUSSION: At least the version with the Prologue was produced at Bologna between 1196-1198. The version without the prologue may be a first recension which could date back to Ricardus's pre-Bolognese career.

Robert Grosseteste (b. 1168/69), professor of theology at Oxford since the early 1220's and later bishop of Lincoln (1235-53), was the author not only of significant theological and philosophical writings, but also contributed to the penitential literature. These works were the outcome in part of his teaching activities, in part of his administrative duties as a bishop.

Robert of Flamesbury (Robertus Flamesburiensis), a canon of Saint Victor in Paris and died ca. 1224. In his function as penitentiary of the Bishop of Paris, he authored an important confessional handbook, Poenitentiale, which makes constant reference to canonistic matters. Robert's acquaintance with legal doctrine, however, seems to have derived from the commentaries he consulted, above all from Huguccio. The work was finished sometime between 1207-1213.

Rodericus Palentinus (Rodrigo de Palencia), bishop of Palencia (1247-54), had previously studied law at Bologna and become a chaplan at the papal curia (1247). As a magister, Rodericus wrote a treatise de positionum (before 1245), which is very similar to the somewhat later, homonymous work of Martinus de Fano (ed. U. Nicolini, Orbis Romanus 5 [Milan 1935]).

Rodoicus Modicipassus, a Parisian master, whom Robert of Courcon mentioned once as dead in his theological Summa (1204-1207). Around 1200, he still figures among the canons of the espiscopal chapter at Sens. He does not seem to have been associated with Bologna at any time, although his opinions are cited by several Bolognese masters. Of his writings, a number of canonistic quaestioneshas survived. He was probably author of a commentary on Gratian's De consecratione (part III of the Decretum), which in one copy is ascribed to `R. de parui passu'. It became the standard supplement to the apparatus Ius naturale of Alanus Anglicus.

Roffredus Beneventanus, a civilian, studied and taught law at Bologna and Arezzo (1215), then at the newly established University at Naples (since 1224). When Benevent, his hometown, came again under papal influence (1229), he went to Rome and worked at the papal curia. The outcome was a treatise on the procedural practises of the curia (1235/36), in which he tried to outline the canonical rules for his fellow civilians. Roffredus died in Rome soon after 1243.

Rolandus, a canonist who taught at Bologna in the 1150's and 1160's. For a long time, modern scholars have identified him with Rolandus Bandinelli, later Pope Alexander III (1159-81). In truth, both personalities have to be distinguished, since Rolandus continued teaching well into Alexander's pontificate. He composed several versions of a Summa on Gratian's Decretum, called Stroma, and a large number of single glosses. His teachings were further reflected in sets of quaestiones to be associated with his school (see Quaestiones in schola Rolandi disputatae). There also survives from his pen a theological collection of sententie.

2. Glosses on the Decretum EDITION: R. Weigand, AKKR 149 (1980) 25-32; and again in Miscellanea (1986), has printed many of Roland's glosses from the manuscripts indicated below. Since one of the sigla referring to Rolandus, `R.', coincides with that of his contemporary Rufinus, identification often proves difficult. MANUSCRIPTS: Heiligenkreuz, Stiftsbibl. 44; Paris, N.B. lat. 14316; St. Florian, Stiftsbibl. III.5; Vatican, Bibl. Ap. lat. 3529.

3. Sententie EDITION: A. M. Gietl, Die Sentenzen Rolands, nachmals Papstes Alexander III (Freiburg/B. 1891). R. Weigand, AKKR 149 (1980) 20, has dated the work around 1155, between the third and fourth recension of the Stroma.

Rufinus, fl. 1150-91, taught canon law at Bologna and later became bishop of Assisi. As such, he delivered the opening sermon at the third Lateran Council of 1179. Sometime between 1180 and 1186, he was transferred to the archbishopric of Sorrento. He is the author of an important Summaon Gratian's Decretum. As part of Johannes Faventinus's Summa (1171), the work became the most widely circulating decretist commentary prior to 1215. While scholars long believed that it preceded the pontificate of Alexander III (1159-81), the date of composition recently has been moved to 1164 (A. Gouron). Two of his theological writings also survive, a treatise on peace (ca. 1180-1186) and a collection of sermons.
