Example text
To be sure, Gratian did not use all the canons that he could have from the early Latin canonical collections. For example, he took only 8 of the 25 canons attributed to the Council of Ancyra in 314. The texts of the Greek councils are reproduced partially in the form contained in the Dionysiana and partially in the form preserved by the so-called Isidoriana vulgata, the Latin translation used for the Collectio Hispana and later by the compilers of Pseudo-Isidore. 5 It is surprising that 17 canons of the Synod in Trullo of 691/692, not recognized in the West as an ecumenical assembly, appear in Gratian.

The peculiarity of the Decretum’s structure becomes most obvious when we compare it with other contemporary legal collections.
