Extravagant

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The extravagants ( lat. The wandering outside ) are part of the Corpus Iuris Canonici .

In the Middle Ages and in the early modern period , extravagant was a technical term for works or writings that “wandered around”, that is, were not contained in official collections . Examples of this are the canonical writings of the Extravagantes Communes from the 12th to 15th centuries, which were not officially edited until after 1500, or the Extravagantes Johannis XXII. from the 14th to 16th centuries.
The bull Unigenitus Dei filius (1343) , about which Luther disputed with Cajetan, was also referred to as Extravagante Clementis (VI.) .
