The Decretum Gratiani is the first and the longest text of the Corpus Iuris Canonici, the body of Catholic Church Law. The Bratislava Gratian belongs to a small group of early illuminated copies where the initial H that opens the text is formed by the bodies of Pope and Emperor standing side-by-side and extending hands, and, together with the Arras Gratian, probably represents a native Bolognese example of a very early stage of introductory iconography to the Decretum Gratiani (12th century).
