Two Anglo-Norman Summae
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 July 2016
Extract
The Summa Prima primi and the Summa Quamvis leges seculares were described by Kuttner and Rathbone in 1951 as two intimately related works of the Anglo-Norman school which were deserving of closer examination in future studies. These summae were significant, it was pointed out, as introducing a new stage in the literary output of the English schools, a stage marked by the reception of Bernard of Pavia's Breviarium and by a close dependence on Huguccio as the principal guide for the interpretation of the Decretum. The texts of the two summae have now been transcribed and collated in preparation for an eventual edition. This work makes it possible to explain their relationship to one another and to Huguccio. It also opens up a fresh set of problems concerning the connection between the Summa Prima primi and a little-known Summa Duacensis in MS Douai 649, fol. 96ra-140vb (D).

The lengthy comment of Huguccio is printed in Foundations of the Conciliar Theory (Cambridge 1955) 248–250 and in J. F. v. Schulte, Die Stellung der Concilien, Päpste und Bischöfe (Prague 1871) 262–264. It should be noted that there are close verbal parallels between the Summa Duacensis and the corresponding passage in the ‘short version’ of Alanus’ apparatus Ius naturale.
