Note 1019 — Chapter VII · RISE OF ECCLESIASTICAL MARRIAGE: THE CHURCH ACCEPTS THE LAY CONTRACT AND CEREMONIAL

Bohn, Pol. Cyc., III, 319, 320. Friedberg, Eheschliessung, 123, 124, gives the text of the decree; and his second book, 101-50, contains an interesting history of the proceedings of the council on the subject of marriage. An English version of the text of the decree may be found in Waterworth, Canons and Decrees of the Council of Trent, 196-99, who also describes the proceedings (ccxxi-xxxvi). Cf. Salis, Die Publikation des trid. Rechts der Eheschliessung, 2 ff.; Fleiner, Die trident. Ehevorschrift, 1 ff.; Esmein, Le mariage en droit canonique, II, 119-37; Madan, Thelyphthora, III, 238 ff. Sohm, Eheschliessung, 187-96, shows that the Tridentinum still maintains the Germanic principle of consensus as the valid marriage.

For the sources see the collections of Theiner and Richter-Schulte and the works of Sarpi and Pallavicino mentioned in Bibliographical Note VII.
