The decrees of Lateran IV, including canon 18, on this topic & on the
related topics of blood sentences and ordeals, are incorporated into the
Decretals of Gregory IX, conveniently found in E. Friedberg ed., Corpus
Iuris Canonici. See X. 3.50.9. The major canonists, of course, commented
on these texts.
