description

Bernhard became known well after his death as the leading glossator of the decretals of Pope Gregory IX. (also: Liber Extra of 1234), a legal text that was only replaced by the Codex Iuris Canonici in 1917 . His commentary fully follows the sequence of the decretals and has not yet been systematized. He completed his work after 30 years in 1263. Before that, however, individual sections of the text were already in circulation. His commentary was soon recognized as the standard commentary on the decretals and was referred to as the Glossa Ordinaria . Bernard also commented on other canonical texts. He was already working with a reference, by carefully making a note of who gave the information he was reproducing. He marked his own conclusions with the note "Ber." or "Bern."
