SALINAS ARANEDA, Carlos. An Unreleased Manuscript From the Chilean Bishop Rafael Fernandez Concha: Partial Project of Canonical Law Code Presented on the Occasion of the Canonical Codification of 1917. Rev. estud. hist.-juríd. [online]. 2007, n.29, pp.481-514. ISSN 0716-5455.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0716-54552007000100017.

Pope Pius X ordered in 1904 the writing of the first Code of Canonical Law that the Latin Church had. The codification task resulted not only from the work of a closed group of experts, but also from considering the opinión of the world episcopate, which was consulted at two moments; in both moments, Chilean bishops were consulted, but the documentation has been kept in the Secret Archive of the Vatican until recent times. In this opportunity, a partial project of the Canonical Law Code sent to Rome in 1904, written by Chilean bishop Rafael Fernandez Concha, unknown until now, is published.
