The Corpus Iuris Canonici is a body of canon law of the Catholic Church, established by Pope Gregory XIII with the bull Cum pro munere of 1580, and officially published in the editio romana two years later.

It includes six collections, which appeared in different centuries:

the Decretum Gratiani (in the version interpolated or modified by the Correctores Romani);

the Liber Extra (or Decretales), issued by Gregory IX in 1234;

the Liber Sextus, issued by Boniface VIII in 1298;

the Clementinae, desired by Clement V after the Council of Vienne (1312), and subsequently promulgated by Pope John XXII in 1317; the Extravagantes Johannis XXII, a collection of decretals, drawn up during the pontificate of John XXII (around 1325);

the Extravagantes communes, a collection compiled by John of Chappuis (late 15th century).

The Decretum Gratiani (the basic text which distinguishes law from theology and establishes canon law) was compiled by Gratian in the first half of the 12th century.
