The Summa de casibus poenitentiae (Summary Concerning the Cases of Penance) is an illuminated manuscript which was written from 1224 to 1226 by Saint Raymond of Peñafort. The manuscript is a guide for members of the Dominican Order when taking confessions. The manuscript was later revised and annotated by William of Rennes between 1234 and 1245.

Peñafort`s manuscript relied heavily on Gratian's Decretum Gratiani and in it Peñafort put forth the argument that acting in defense of yourself, or your property could only occur when an attack was already under way. and you were repelling it, or if an attack was imminent. Accordingly Peñafort put defending yourself and offensive actions in juxtaposition, as defense concerned the immediate future and the present, and offense was an act of vengeance for actions which had already been committed.

Following up on the Summa, Raymond wrote Summa de Poenitentia et Matrimonio. This manuscript was to aid the Dominicans when hearing confessions relating to marital issues.
