Incipit
The incipit () of a text is the first few words of the text, employed as an identifying label. In a musical composition, an incipit is an initial sequence of notes, having the same purpose. The word ''incipit'' comes from Latin and means "it begins". Its counterpart taken from the ending of the text is the explicit. Before the development of titles, texts were often referred to by their incipits, as with for example ''Agnus Dei''. During the medieval period in Europe, incipits were often written in a different script or colour from the rest of the work of which they were a part, and "incipit pages" might be heavily decorated with illumination. Though the word ''incipit'' is Latin, the practice of the incipit predates classical antiquity by several millennia and can be found in various parts of the world. Although not always called by the name of ''incipit'' today, the practice of referring to texts by their initial words remains commonplace. Historical examples Sumerian In th ...

Summa Confessorum
The ''Summa confessorum'', also known as the ''Summa de penitentia'' and the ''Summa Cum miseratione domini'', is a 13th-century work on penance by Thomas of Chobham. It began to circulate in 1216 and survives in more than a hundred manuscripts. Publication history Likely a student of Peter Cantor, Thomas of Chobham began writing his work on penance around the same time that annual confession was affirmed as mandatory by the Fourth Council of the Lateran, with Pope Innocent III specifying that priests ought to consider the individual circumstances of the penitent. However, according to F. Broomfield, Thomas' work "was very little influenced" by the council, and Thomas might not even have been aware of the canons passed by the council. Its authorship has also been misattributed to several other writers, including Innocent III himself. What came to be referred to as the ''Summa confessorum'' began to circulate in 1216. It attracted a wide readership, especially in colleges and p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
