Description

Erroneous passages in this collection of medieval Canon Law compiled for Pope Boniface VIII were expurgated by gluing blank paper slips over the offending glosses. A Latin inscription added at the beginning of the book c. 1570 states that the text was diligently expurgated according to an exemplar provided by Father Manriquez. Tomás Manriquez (d. 1573), Spanish Dominican priest, was chief advisor of Pope Pius V and overseer of the Tridentine Index from 1565 until his death.
