Gloss "Extravagantes" o.f Pope John XXII *** inter, Tit. XIV, Cap. IV. Ad Callem Sexti Decretalium, Paris, 1685

It's for an argument.
How anyone came across a copy of such an arcane text is beyond me, as is the potential for checking it.

Thanks.

Bentley - that is such a good link. The author of the site emailed a library that had copies of both the 1325 and 1560 folios, and the librarian reported the discrepancy.

Behold the importance of proofreading!

"A gloss (Gk. glossa, Lat. glossa, tongue, speech) is an interpretation or explanation of isolated words."
"In the "Extravagantes" of Pope John XXII (***. Inter, title 14, chapter 4, "Ad Callem Sexti Decretalium", Column 140, Paris, 1685), Roman Canon Law says that it is heresy to deny the power of "Our Lord God the Pope." In an Antwerp edition of the Extravagantes, the words occur in column 153."
All of this seems to be whether in fact someone did write that the Pope was in fact God on earth.
From the Catholic Encyclpedia: Extravagantes we read

“In 1325 Zenselinus de Cassanis added a gloss to twenty constitutions of Pope John XXII, and named this collection "Viginti Extravagantes pap Joannis XXII". The others were known as "Extravagantes communes", a title given to the collection by Jean Chappuis in the Paris edition of the "Corpus Juris" (1499-1505). He adopted the systematic order of the official collections of canon law”
The reader will note that Zenzelius had died in 1334, over 160 years before the first Parisian collection. (Also of note is the fact that it is not this edition that is charged with containing the words "Lord God the Pope" but a much later edition, from 1685).
By modern standards, it hardly seems like much more than a Da Vinci Codes argument; those with a beef against the church wil be glad to see it exploited. those with half a brain can read the truth easily.

Contact your local library, they might be able to track it down for you. If not, try the local Catholic Church, if they don't have it in their church library, they may be able to tell you who does.
