    Raymond of Pennafort (1180-1275) is one of the most important scholastics and jurists of the Middle Ages. At the request of Gregory IX, he compiled the famous collection of decretals, which still forms one of the foundations of Church law today. He was Superior General of the Dominican Order from 1238 to 1240, and Saint Thomas Aquinas wrote his Summa contra Gentiles at his request. Besides the aforementioned collection of decretals, Raymond of Pennafort wrote his legal works between 1218 and 1221 during his time in Bologna. The text presented here, the “summa iuris,” was never actually finished, and later editors added, as Book IV, the “summa de matrimonio,” which was in fact an update of an earlier treatise by the Bolognese canonist Tancred. Raymond de Pennafort is known for fostering dialogue between the Dominicans and Muslims and Jews. He established a school for the study of Arabic and the Quran in North Africa. This text contains a general treatise divided into four books: the first two books deal with criminal law, including significant sections on Jews and Pagans, and on the law of arms (ballistae and bows, etc.); the third part is devoted to the various legal statuses of members of the People of God; and the fourth book is dedicated to the law of persons in its civil sense (marriage, divorce). The author was canonized in 1601 and is the patron saint of canon lawyers.
