A beautiful Venetian edition of Pope Gregory IX’s *Decretales*, printed by the heirs of Ottaviano Scoto in 1526. The great codex of medieval canon law in a fine Venetian edition A beautiful Venetian edition of Pope Gregory IX’s Decretals, printed by the heirs of Ottaviano Scoto in 1526, with text in red and black type and several woodcuts within the text, preserved in its contemporary parchment binding with a handwritten title on the spine. A fundamental collection of canon law, the Decretals were promulgated by Gregory IX in 1234 and systematically compiled the papal decrees on ecclesiastical matters. For centuries, they served as an indispensable tool for jurists and canonists, governing matters ranging from marriage to the sacraments, from jurisdiction to judicial procedures. Their publishing success attests to the importance of canon law in European legal culture, while the red-and-black printing lends this edition a distinctive typographical quality.
