Saint Ivo of Chartres

The Columbia Encyclopedia, 6th ed. | 2011 | Copyright

Saint Ivo of Chartres , c.1040–c.1116, French churchman, bishop of Chartres (after 1090). He was fearlessly outspoken and was briefly imprisoned for opposing the irregular second marriage of King Philip I of France. He worked to obtain a compromise in the struggle over investitures. His principal fame was for his knowledge of canon law . His Decretum and Panormia, collections of canons, were perhaps the most extensive until supplanted by the work of Gratian . In the prologue to these collections Ivo attempted to establish a hierarchy for the reconciliation of discordant laws, a system with methodological import for the rise of scholasticism . Feast: May 24.
