Subjects in this Topic:
(Extravagantes), a name given to decretal epistles of the popes issued after Gratian's Decretum, and not contained in that work ( SEE CANON LAW, ). They were therefore called extra decretunm vagantes, or, briefly, extravagantes; and this name was still given to them after their insertion in the body of the canon law. For an account of the different collections of extravagantes, SEE CANON, LAW.
