Johannes Teutonicus to 4 Comp. 5.12.1 (X 2.26.19)
 

Jo. Teu. 4 Comp. 5.12.1 (X 2.26.19) Veniens s.v. renuntiasse: Nota quod intelligitur renuntiasse iuri communi, qui privilegium impetrat . . . sicut econtra utendo iure communi renuntiat privilegio . . . set contra supra de consuetud. c.ult. lib.iii. ubi simul utitur iure communi et privilegio, nec renuntiat quis iuri militum licet utatur iure communi . . . sic iuri communi et consuetudini aliquis innititur . . . Responsio: hic ideo recessum est a iure communi quia impetravit privilegium donationis, et ex diversis causis non potest haberi dominium dei . . . si impetrasset privilegium confirmationis, illud contrarium non obstaret, quia ius commune. jo.

Note that a person is understood to have renounced his common rights (ius commune) by receiving a privilege . . . just as by rejecting a privilege a person accepts the ius commune. . . . there is a contrary example in Innocent III’s decretal where a monastery has used its common rights (ius commune) and its privilege simultaneously. Another example of simultaneous use is that a soldier does not renounce his military right (ius militare) if he uses his common right to compose his will. 


Johannes Teutonicus, 3 Comp. 1.3.7 (X 1.4.8) s.v. iuri communi praeiuicet: Quam consuetudinem dices preiudicare
iuri communi? Dico antiquam et approbatam, ut infra de postulat. Bone memorie circa finem (3 Comp. 1.1.4 (X 1.5.4).
Which custom would you say negates a common right? I say a custom that is old and approved.
