A scarce Baglioni's edition of this important text on canon law by Lancellotti, many times re-printed from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century. The Institutiones Iuris Canonici were born, in the original idea, as an official and complete synthesis of all the laws, imitating the Justinian’s Institutiones, from which it was taken the division in 4 books. Despite it never received the formalization from the Pope, the work quickly acquired fame and authority.
Giovan Paolo Lancellotti (1522-1590) was an important personality in the city of Perugia. Teacher of Civil and Canon law he also wrote the Institutionum iuris canonici commentarium (1560), the De comparationeiuris pontificii et caesarei (1574), the Regularum ex universo pontificio iure libri III (1587) and some minor teological works. He also wrote poems and was among the founders of the Academy of Music Unison and member of the literary Academy of Foolish (Accademia letteraria degli Insensati).
Jean Doujat (Ioannes Doviatius o Johannes Duiatius, ca. 1609-1688), lawyer at the Parliament of Toulouse and then to the Parliament of Paris; professor of canon law at the College of France and historian of Louis XIV.
