A supplement or appendix. The name is especially applied to a work in great repute, published in 1726 by Dr. John Ayllffe, Fellow of New College, Oxford. The full name of this work is "Parergon Juris Canonic! Anglicani" (A Supplement of the Anglican Canon Law); but it is generally referred to shortly as "Ayltffe's Parergon." The work commences with a historical introduction; then various subjects relating to ecclesiastical law are treated in alphabetical order. The treatment of these subjects forms the main body of the work. Then follows a list of the monasteries dissolved by Henry VIII..; then a table of the fees payable to the officers of the ecclesiastical courts. Mozley ^.W. PARES; PARI. See Par.
