- Fascinating. I am quite curious, though, as to exactly where in Canon
- Law this may be found. Is it found in Gratian's Decretum or does it
- appear even earlier than that? And if so, in what major collection? I
- don't remember seeing this, but I would be happy to be instructed if I
- have missed it.
