description In this article, the Author undertook the task of compiling a biography of Guillelmus Durantis, a bishop and legal scholar, and the characteristics of his work. The study reveals the author of Speculum iudiciale as a seasoned church official and a scholar in Roman and canon law. Because of his administrative and mediatorial talents, Durantis was often employed on matters requiring the Pope’s ongoing interventions. He organized and clarified the liturgy and presented the entire process now known as Roman-canonical process in a single work. Durantis’ findings closed many scientific and practical debates about the process for several centuries. The special significance of Durantis ‚ Speculum Iudiciale, presented in this article, can be explained both by the excellence of the work and by the nature of the procedural law norms themselves. While substantive law deals with the most diverse aspects of life, often independent from the man, procedural law is an exclusive product of the man, entirely dependent on his actions, and therefore can and should be written precisely. Of course, difficult cases can arise even here, but its formation can be far more precise than the substantive law regulating an infinite variety of situations. For the purposes of the Roman-canonical process, such shaping has succeeded, as evidenced by the centuries-old authority of the Speculum Judiciale.
