(bouvier) | EXTRAVAGANTES, canon law. This is the name given to the constitutions of the
popes posterior to the Clementines; they are thus called quasi vagantes
extra corpus juris, to express that they were out of the canonical law,
which at first contained only the decrees of Gratian; afterwards the
decretals of Gregory IX., the sexte of Boniface. VIII., the Clementines, and
at last the extravagantes were added to it. There are the extravagantes of
John XXII., and the common 'extravagantes.' The first contain twenty
epistles, decretals or constitutions of that pope, divided under fifteen
titles, without any subdivision into books. The others are epistles,
decretals or constitutions of the popes who occupied the holy see, either
before or after John XXII. they are divided into books like the decretals.
