Footnotes

Lyndewood's Provinciale "is a collection of the most important ecclesiastical legislation enacted within the province of Canterbury between the Council of Oxford in 1222 and Chichele's archiepiscopate... The completed Provinciale was accompanied by a comprehensive subject matter index... and, more importantly, by his own extensive marginal gloss. In the fashion of the European ius commune (as the amalgam of Roman and canon law taught in continental universities was known), the gloss clarified the meaning of the constitutions, related them to the general law of the church, raised legal points of doubt and controversy, and commented upon their observance in the English spiritual courts" (ODNB).

Provenance: Los Angeles Law Library, bookplate.
