Quick Summary

The Panormia is a significant work of canon law compiled by Ivo of Chartres around the early 12th century. It is an 8-book collection that synthesized existing canon law, including elements from Burchard of Worms's Decree and Gregorian law. Ivo's work was crucial in developing methods for reconciling conflicting legal texts, emphasizing justice and mercy. This approach influenced later legal scholars and contributed to the standardization of canon law during a period of significant legal and ecclesiastical development in Western Europe.12
