Źródła myśli Iwona z Chartres o salus animarum jako celu prawa kanonicznego
THE SOURCES OF IVO CHARTRES THOUGHT OF SALUS ANIMARUM AS THE PURPOSE OF THE CANON LAW

Summary/Abstract: The author of the study claims that in the discussion held in the previous century by the jurists of religious law concerning understanding of the salvation of souls as the purpose of the canon law there were not very clear references to the assumptions which led Ivo of Chartres to such a statement. Therefore he expresses them in the following points: the education and knowledge of Ivo gained in the Le Bec school in his pastoral activity, sacrament as the source of the canon norm, the biblical foundation of the canon norm (ratio auctoritatis), mercy and justice as the principle of legal hermeneutics of Ivo, salvation of souls as a conciliation element of norms. In author’s opinion, Ivo is a precursor of a contemporary orientation in the approach to canon law as a dimension of the salvation order.
