Why this is in the register
HOLLIS 'Ivo of Chartres panormia English' returns three records: Bruce C. Brasington's 1990 dissertation, The Prologue to the Decretum and Panormia of Ivo of Chartres: An Eleventh Century Treatise on Ecclesiastical Jurisprudence, which translates and analyses the Prologue; a 2010 Vatican conference volume; and a 2009 collection on custom in medieval law. Only the Prologue is Englished. The collection itself, seventeen books of canons, has no English translation in any record I could find, and the same is true of the Panormia. The Latin is printed in Migne, Patrologia Latina 161, Ivo's Opera omnia.
Ivo's Decretum is the bridge between the Gregorian collections and Gratian, and its Prologue is the most sophisticated medieval statement of how to reconcile conflicting authorities, a method Gratian then systematised. With only the Prologue in English, the working collection that made that method possible is unavailable, so the origins of scholastic legal reasoning are studied from its conclusions rather than its practice.
