Summary: "The aim of this book is to link up the two ages of papal decretals, c. 400 and c. 1200, by looking at the causes and effects of the documents edited and translated [in] "Papal Jurisdiction c. 400: Sources of the Canon Law Tradition". First the causes: in late Antiquity, why were papal rulings requested in the first place? Then the effects: the continuation by later bishops of Rome, above all Leo I and Gelasius I, of the pattern set in the first fifty years of papal jurisprudence; the incorporation in canon law collections of those early rulings; and their subsequent reception up to the mid-thirteenth century".
