CORPUS is also used in matters of learning, for several works of the same nature collected and bound together.
Gratian made a collection of the canons of the church, called corpus canonum. The corpus of the civil law is composed of the digest, code, and institutes. We have also a corpus of the Greek poets; and another of the Latin poets.
Corpus Christi, a festival of the church of England, kept on the next Thursday after Trinity-sunday, instituted in honour of the eucharist; to which also one of the colleges in Oxford is dedicated.
