The Collectio Dionysiana was a collection and translation of the canons of Eastern councils by a monk named Dionysius Exiguus, living in Rome, but Scythian by birth, about.".no A. D. It helped to spread the notion that the popes can declare, even if they cannot make the law for the universal church, and thus to contract the sphere of secular jurisprudence. 1-4 L Q. It. 20.
