Gratian (d. by
c.1160), canon lawyer. Practically nothing is known of his life. His
Concordantia Discordantium Canonum, known as his
Decretum, is a collection of patristic texts, conciliar decrees, and Papal pronouncements, presented within the framework of a treatise designed to resolve contradictions in his sources. It was used as an authority in the practice of the Papal
curia and formed part of the
Corpus Iuris Canonici.
