In 1149 Pope Celestine III. chartered the Order of the Holy Virgin, for the service of a hospital in Siena; in 1218, after a revelation from on high, the Order of the Holy Mary of Mercy was founded by Peter Nolascus Raymond von Pennaforte for the express purpose of giving aid and freedom to captives.
Thus in 1234 the Dominican Raymund de Pennaforte gathered five books of Decretals at the command of Gregory IX; Boniface VIII was responsible for a sixth book in 1298, while other additions were made by Clement V and John XXII . All these, together with the earlier compilations and some later additions, formed the Corpus Juris Canonici.
