John T. Noonan, Jr. "Gratian
Slept Here: The Changing Identity of the Father of the Systematic Study of
Canon Law," Traditio 35 (1979) 145-172
p. 172: "To conclude, we have reason to believe that Gratian composed and
commented upon a substantial portion of the Concordia. In such
composition and commentary he revealed himself to be a teacher with
theological knowledge and interests and a lawyer's point of view. He worked
in Bologna in the 1130s and 1140s. Beyond these conclusions, we have
unverified hearsay, palpable legend, and the silent figure in the shadows of
S. Marco."
