Rare edition of Collectanea Doctorum tam Veterum quam Recentiorum in Jus Pontificium Universum , the most extensive and cited work on canon law by the jurist Agostinho Barbosa (Aldão, Guimarães, 1590 - Ugento, 1649) from Guimarães. Trained in canon law at the University of Coimbra, he then went to Rome, where, lacking the means to buy books, he memorized what he later wrote down in public libraries; he settled in Madrid around 1632, in the service of the Spanish crown, and in 1648 was appointed bishop of Ugento, in the Kingdom of Naples, dying a few months after taking possession of the diocese. The Collectanea Doctorum brings together, in six volumes, an exhaustive commentary on the sources of post-Tridentine canon law: the first two books of the Decretals (volume I), books III and IV (volume II), book V (volume III), the Sixth, the Clementines and the Extravagantes (volume IV), the Decretum Gratiani (volume V) and, in the sixth volume, the Interpretationes Selectae with additions to the collection. Initially published in 1637 and subsequently expanded in later editions from Lyon, the work became one of the reference repertories of European canon law, still cited in the 20th century, until the codification of 1917. This 1716 edition, from the workshop of Anisson & Posuel, bears on its cover the formula ”ultima editio ab ipsomet auctore aucta, recognita & à mendis expurgata”, inherited verbatim from previous editions - a conventional formula of the printer, since Barbosa had died more than sixty years before this edition came off the press.
