Abstract
Shortly after being elected, Saint Pius X started working to set the canonic law under the modern form of the "ius-racionalist" codification. His work started in 1904 and finished in 1917 when his successor, Benedict XV, enacted the Iuris Canonici Codex, the first of the canon law codes the Church ever had. In this paper we study the background of the codification process, placed in the First Vatican Council, the development of the codification works and their first effects.
