Quick Summary

The Constitutiones Clementinae, or Clementine Constitutions, are a collection of canon law promulgated by Pope Clement V in 1317. This collection was later included in the Corpus Juris Canonici, the body of Roman Catholic Church law from the Middle Ages until 1917. The Clementinae primarily consists of decrees and constitutions enacted during the Council of Vienne (1311–1312).12

Canon law itself is the body of rules and regulations made by ecclesiastical authorities for the government of Christian organizations and their members. It played a significant role in the transmission of Roman jurisprudence and influenced secular law in various areas, including marriage, obligations, and criminal procedure.3
