Fifth edition. Zabarellis, who was eventually created cardinal by John XXIII, taught canon law at Florence from 1385 to 1390 and at Padua from 1390 to 1410. His Lectura super Clementinis refers to the Decretals, also known as the Liber septimus, issued by Clement V. Although it long remained a standard work on canon law, the eight editions published up to 1500 are all extremely scarce. This edition by Nicolaus de Benedictis and Jacobinus Suigus was reprinted from the edition of De Gregoriis, Venice, 1487, with the addition of the title and dedication, employing law text type and a large bold heading type. The partnership was active in Turin from April, 1490, until June, 1495, but in the following year began work at Lyons. HC 16254.; BMC VII, 1057 (IC. 32434); Polain (B) 4061; IGI 10423; Goff Z-6.
