The Decretals is organized into five books dealing with church government, procedure, clerical life, marriage and criminal law. The first printed edition was issued in Strasbourg by Heinrich Eggesteyn in 1470-1472. Edited by the important humanist Le Conte, also known as Contius, our Plantin edition predates the Reformation-inspired Correctores Romani (1580-1582), which was the law of the Church until 1917.
