The Church as a primary judicial legal system, from its origins has authored its own native law (ius proprium ac nativum) and independent vis-à-vis other judicial systems. As already indicated, the purpose of this brief essay is to individualize the main stages that have marked the juridical experience of the Church, in addition to underline the more relevant sources of canon law in order to comprehend the development of the Societas Christi. Historiography, in this respect, is acclimated in utilizing criteria of diverse and varied time periods. In fact, some scholars sustain that the historical development of canon law can be subdivided into four major periods:  The so-called ius antiquum, corresponding to the sources of the first millennium of the Church;  The ius novum, corresponding to the time encompassing the works of Gratian the monk up to the Council of Trent (1545-1563);  The ius novissimum, the historical period characterized by a canon law which was influenced by the specific tenets of the Conciliar Fathers in response to Lutheran theories;  The ius codificatum, or rather the period of the great codifications of Church law. This time span stems from the promulgation of the first Code of Canon Law for the Latin Church by Benedict XVI in 1917, up to 1983, when it was abrogated in favor of the current Code introduced by John Paul II, and up to the promulgation of the Codex Canonum Ecclesiarum Orientalium in 1990. 1
