Cresconius
(72 words)

[German version]

In the 6th cent. AD, he probably arranged (in Africa or Rome) a systematic collection (Concordia canonum) of synodal laws (Canones) and papal decisions (Decretales), based on the collection of  Dionysius Exiguus. An extended version with the inclusion of texts from Gaul exists from the Carolingian period (so-called Gaulic Cresconius).
