Deusdedit (cardinal)

Deusdedit († March 2, 1099?) Was a cardinal and an important canonist in the time of the reformed papacy .

Deusdedit came from Aquitaine and became a Benedictine in Saint-Martin in Tulle . His main work, the Collectio canonum , is handed down in the manuscript Vat. Lat. 3833, divided into four books with 1220 chapters. It was probably started under Gregory VII , possibly at his request, and in 1087 the new Pope Viktor III. dedicated. Since 1078 the author was cardinalis tituli sanctorum apostolorum in Eudoxia (= San Pietro in Vincoli ). He drew material for his collection from the Liber Diurnus , from Roman ordines and from the papal archive. His collection is the most strongly influenced by the Roman Empire, but it was less systematic and varied than that of Anselm von Lucca, for example, and did not have a great impact. Deusdedit also wrote a polemic against the supporters of the antipope Clement III. , the Libellus contra invasores et simoniacos et reliquos scismaticos , as well as poems.

One of the pieces preserved in his collection is Dagome Iudex , a much discussed source on early Polish statehood.
