Erroneous passages in this collection of medieval
canon law compiled for Pope Boniface VIII were
expurgated by gluing blank paper slips over the
offending glosses. A Latin
inscription added at the
beginning of the book c. 1570 states that the text
was diligently expurgated according to an exemplar
provided by Father Manriquez, Master of the Sacred
Palace. Tomás Manriquez (d. 1573), Spanish Dominican
priest, was chief advisor of Pope Pius V and
overseer of the Tridentine Index from 1565
until his death. |
