the Jews in Twelfth-Century Rome: Papal Attitudes toward Biblical Judaism and Contemporary


European Jewry (ph.d. dissertation, Louisiana State University, 2005).


Throughout the book i have used the editions of papal letters of Grayzel and Simonsohn,

as well as Simonsohn’s masterly summary: The Apostolic See and the Jews. History (Toronto,

Friedberg compiled complete editions of the Decretum, the Quinque antiquae compilationes,


and Raymond of peñafort’s Liber extra decretalium, and i have used these for this study.


Also invaluable have been Gratian, ‘Concordia discordantium canonum’, Corpus iuris can-


onici, ed. e. Friedberg, Vol. 1 (Leipzig, 1879), Gregory ix, pope, ‘Liber extra decretalium’,


Corpus iuris canonici, ed. e. Friedberg, Vol. 2 (Leipzig, 1881), pp.5–928, and the Quinque


compilationes antiquae, ed. e. Friedberg (Leipzig, 1882). A reliable, if early, edition which i


have also used is innocent iV, Apparatus super quiinque libris decretalium (Turin, 1581). A


lack of nineteenth- and twentieth-century editions of other important thirteenth-century


texts of formal canon law concerned with heretics and Jews has often meant reliance on


fifteenth- and sixteenth-century editions. Here catalogues such as John Oates, A Catalogue


of the Fifteenth-Century Printed Books in the University Library, Cambridge (Cambridge,


1954), have been invaluable.


With respect to conciliar legislation, including Church councils held in the south of

France during the period of the Albigensian Crusade, the standard collected edition used


by historians remains Mansi’s Sacrorum conciliorum nova et amplissima collectio, published


in the eighteenth century and based on the earlier collections of editors such as that of


Labbé. There are also a number of much more recent editions and studies of conciliar legis-


lation pertaining in particular to the Lateran Councils of the period, for example, Decrees of


the Ecumenical Councils, Vol. 1: Nicaea I to Lateran V, ed. n. Tanner (London, 1990), and
