Biography/History:

Gulielmus de Monte Laudu (d. 1343) is also known as Guilelmus de Monte Lauduno and Guillaume de Montlauzun.

Summary:

A work on canonical law, including topics such as baptism, marriage, extreme unction, interdict, confirmation, penance, and indulgences. Also contains the sections of the Summa theologica of Antoninus Florentinus concerning excommunication, interdict, suspension, irregularity, and punishment, also published under the title De censuris ecclesiasticis. Antoninus cites Gulielmus as one of his authorities. The manuscript's title page (f. [iv] recto) wrongly attributes this work to Gulielmus de Monte Laudu.
