Two years ago we briefly announced the discovery of a new document of great interest for the history of the Fourth Lateran Council. Written in Spring 1216 as a letter from Rome, presumably by a German, it was copied by a thirteenth-century scribe into a manuscript now at the Universitäts-bibliothek of Giessen, where it follows directly after the constitutiones of the council. With its detailed and vivid description of the three plenary sessions and of many events that took place in between, the anonymous report adds considerably to the information we possess from other sources. But although other portions of the Giessen codex have been known and used by many scholars ever since the eighteenth century, this text has been overlooked to the present day. It is a happy coincidence that we are able to present this eyewitness account of the greatest of the ecumenical councils of the Middle Ages while the Second Vatican Council is in session.

But a collation of R with ed. Rom. shows that the two texts came from different archetypes; one example must suffice here: R 70.35-6 qui cum patre et spiritu sancto uiuit in secula seculorum. Amen] cui est honor et gloria in secula seculorum. Amen ed. Rom et seqq. — It is worth noting that the two sermons of Innocent III (on the second, which is spurious, see below, to lines 152-158) were inserted in ed. Rom. at the last moment. They are not mentioned in the table of contents of vol. 4, fol. a ijv, and occupy four unnumbered leaves intercalated in signature D between pp. 42 and 43. Page 42 (= fol. D iiiv), at the end of Innocent's epistolae ad concilium spectantes (= Mansi 22.956-68), has in the lower right corner the custos DECRE-, which refers to the beginning of p. 43 = fol.

page 130 note 66 According to d'Achéry, the Lyre MS contains the traditional brief Notice of the council, ‘Anno ab incarnatione,’ ending ‘non fuit certus numerus comprehensus. In ea Synodo fuerunt haec instituta quae sequuntur, videlicet (d'Achéry adds) Canones ejusdem Concilii et sub finem post orationem Innocenta Papae: Sententia de terrâ Albigensi. Quantum ecclesia videbitur expedire.’ This sequence corresponds to Paris lat. 12249 (as given by Luchaire loc.cit.), while in the Kassel and Rouen MSS Quantum ecclesia follows immediately after Ad liberandam and is in turn followed by the brief Notice.

Liebermann's introduction to the selections edited by him for the MGH (SS 28.74-106) retains its great value. — Modern liturgical studies, for instance, should have taken notice of the information Matthew has to offer on discussions and decisions concerning the Mass at the IV Lateran Council: on the commemoration of local saints in the Canon (‘in secreto missae’) and the abolition of ‘quaedam quae diu ante ea fuerant usitata,’ Gesta abbatum s.

Eichmann, E., Acht und Bann im Reichsrecht des Mittelalters (Paderborn 1909) 120f.
