Sententiae Sidonis
General
The Sententiae Sidonis (Fournier's Sentence de Sidon) are a so-called sentence collection from the twelfth century extant in Vat. lat. 1345, containing mainly "theological" but also canon law material. Its formal sources are other sentence collections (Summa sententiarum, Deus itaque summa), the Panormia, and maybe Abelard's Sic et non (according to John Wei). Material taken from the Panormia includes the Papal Election Decree of 1059, a version of the Donation of Constantine, and the false Investiture Privileges.
The Sententiae are divided into 18 books. According to Fournier, they contain a total of ca. 1900 chapters, some 1150 of which are "canon law"; almost all of the latter are taken from the Panormia.
The collection, compiled by a certain Ubaldus according to the preface, probably originated in twelfth-century Italy; the sole manuscript, however, was likely written in the Holy Land.
The prologue is quoted by Fournier, Collections attribuées à Yves, 665.
