118. Summa, Fo. 129rb.
119. Fos. 128vb-9ra. Here though, certain features of the Paris statutes have been incorporated, and
others which had been incorporated in the Lérida statutes have been excluded. Spitting, for example,
did not concern Pedro. Cf. PL. 212, 65D-6A; VL, XVI, 306 (the celebrant to abstain from spitting after
his communion; 'sin autem in piscina suaviter spuatur').
120. Fo. 130ra-b.
121. Fo. 129va-b.
122. Summa de Poenitentia, prologue Ad lectorem: '...ut si quando fratres ordinis nostri, vel alli circa
judicium animarum in foro poenitentiali forsitan dubitaverint, per ipsius exercitium, tam in consiliis
quam in judicibus, quaestiones multas et casus varios ac difficiles et perplexos valeant enodare'. See
also Teetaert, AST, IV, 141 ff.; P. Michaud Quantin, 'A propos des premiéres Summae Confessorum',
RTAM, XXVI (1959), 264-306; García y García, REDC, XVIII, 238: 'no es un manual para las aulas
universitarias, sino para los confesores'.
123. Summa, fo. 127vb; Summa de Poenitentia, I: 'Quia penitentia est secunda tabula post naufragium.'
124. Fos. 128rb, 130ra.
125. Summa de Poenitentia, 463-4, deals with the question of interrogation of the penitent and
satisfaction, and urges the priest to teach the penitent the basic Christian prayers. Cf. Summa, fos.
127vb-8ra, 129vb. But this material could equally well have been derived from Eudes de Sully: PL.
212, 60D-1A.
126. See, for example, the verse Summula (Cologne, 1495, begins: '[S]ummula de Summa Raymundi
prodiit ista: non ex subtili sed vili scnibimus istam'), xxx(r) ff., on the procedure to be followed if the
consecrated host is vomited; which problem also engaged St Raymond and Pedro de Albalat: Summa
de Poenitentia, 476; Summa, fo. 129ra. Raymond's Summa was written in 1222-5 and revised in 12346
(see Kuttner in ZSSR, kan. Abt., XXXIX, 419 ff.), and it is not clear whether metrical versions were
current as early as 1241. One of the earliest of these versions was the work of the Cistercian, Arnoul de
Louvain, c. 1250: Chronica Villariensis monasterii, ed. G. Waitz, MGH, Scriptores XXV (Hanover,
1880), 208.
127. Summa, fo. 128ra: 'in iniungendis penitentiis caveant sacerdotes quod secundum qualitatem culpe
et possibilitatem confitentium eis iniungant...'.
128. Summa de Poenitentia, 472-3, 478: 'et hanc ultimam opiniarem videtur amplecti consuetudo:
prima tamen est tutior, licet difficilior.' For the morality of the marketplace in contemporary Castile, see
below, p. 319.
129. It was present, for example, in the Liber Poenitentialis written soon after 1215 by the Victorine
Pierre de Poitiers. See C. R. Cheney, 'La date de composition du "Liber Poenitentialis" attribué à Pierre
de Poitiers', RTAM, IX (1937), 401-4.
130. Diago, Historia de la Provincia de Aragón, fo. 103r ff.; Denifle, ALKG, II, 202-3 241-8; Kaeppeli,
AFP, XXXVII, 47-80.
131. VL, VII, 256-7; Junyent, 250 ff.
132. Junyent, 238. In Jan. 1234 he was forced to borrow from Pedro Mironis and Raimundo de
Cardona of Vich 'tria milia solidorum barcinonensium.. . ad solvendum pecuniam quam nos pro facto
nostri et monasterii Rivipulli (Ripoll) debemus mercatoribus florentinis', which debt was due for
repayment at Easter (12 April). By then his resources were slender, to judge by the security offered
