Usury (Catholic Encyclopedia, 1913)

Catholic Encyclopedia, 1913

The 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia's article on usury, tracing canon law's treatment of interest taking from the Apostolic Canons and the First Council of Nicaea (325, clergy only) through the First Council of Carthage (345), the Council of Aix or Aachen (789, the actual extension to the laity), the Third Lateran Council (1179) and the Second Council of Lyons (1274), to the Council of Vienne's absolute prohibition (1311) and Benedict XIV's Vix Pervenit (1745).

Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
2
A rigorous, named-canon-by-named-canon scholarly reference, but over a century old and not modern peer review. Every dated canon it names is cross-checked against at least one further source before being cited: the 789 laity date against a second, independent historical account, and the 1745 date and content against Vix Pervenit's own primary text.
Notes
Cited for the Council of Nicaea 325 clergy prohibition, the Council of Aix or Aachen 789 extension to the laity, the Second Council of Lyons 1274 general excommunication, and the Council of Vienne 1311 decree Ex gravi.
