Title: Leaf from Gratian’s Decretum Gratiani, France, Circa 1275-1325. Recovered from a Binding. Manuscript on Parchment. 30 Lines of Gothic Script, and Ornate Initials
Author: Gratian
Condition: Good

A late 13th to early 14th century leaf from a manuscript edition of Gratian’s Decretum Gratiani, also known as Concordia discordantium canonum, or Concordantia discordantium canonum, or just the Decretum, a collection of canon law first compiled and written in the 12th century as a legal textbook. It served as the main source of law by canonists until the Decretals of Pope Gregory IX in 1234.

The text is written in Latin, and is a Gothic miniscule script written in black ink, with two initials in red and blue, and several paragraph markers, also in red and blue.

This leaf was once used as binder’s waste, serving as a cover to a volume.

This manuscript is written in a two-column, 37-line format.

One manuscript on parchment, 24.1 x 14.4 cm

This manuscript is in good shape, with some wear and staining to the parchment. There are several small holes to the parchment, with a few letters of text loss.
