Description
Henry of Segusio, a professor of law at the universities of Bologna and Paris, died at Lyon in 1271. His Summa Aurea (Golden Summary) was an early treatise on canon law (church law) that was so important that it was repeatedly copied after his death. This leaf comes from one such early copy.- Milliken, William. "A Thirteenth-Century Table of Consanguinity." The Bulletin of the Cleveland Museum of Art 41, no. 3 (March 1954): 46-48.
