[3] Penyafort's work relied heavily on Gratian's Decretum Gratiani.

Accordingly, Penyafort put defending yourself and offensive actions in juxtaposition, as defense concerned the immediate future and the present, and offense was an act of vengeance for actions which had already been committed.

[4] Following up on poenitentiae, Raymond wrote a Summa de Matrimonio, about issues of marriage.

[5] This second work was often appended to the Summa de casibus poenitentiae and was also included together with it, as its fourth and final part, in the printed editio princeps in 1603.
