¹⁰ Fournier - Le Bras, Histoire 2.167. In his article in the Mélanges Paul Fabre, 207 n. 3, P. Fournier states that the Turin Collection ‘ne semble nullement poitevine.’ The reason for his opinion seems to be that several texts from the Collectio canonum of Deusdedit and Italian councils of the late eleventh century are found in the Collection. Although it is true that the Collectio canonum of Deusdedit primarily influenced Italian collections, traces are certainly found in the Collectio Caesaraugustana (ca. 1110–1120) and perhaps in the Collection of Ste.-Geneviève (Paris Bibl. Ste.-Geneviève MS lat. 166) and the Collection of St.-Germain-des-Prés (Wolfenbüttel Gud. lat. 212). Cf. Lefebvre, Ch., ‘Deusdedit,’ DDC 4 (Paris 1949) 1189. Moreover, canons from the councils of Melfi and Piacenza are occasionally found in French collections. Cf. Gossman, F. J., Pope Urban II and Canon Law (The Catholic University of America Canon Law Studies 403; Washington 1960) 104–6. It seems especially significant that c. 1 of the Council of Benevento (1091) (Mansi 20.738), which is listed on fol. 135^v of the Coll VIIL as a canon of the Council of Melfi, is confined almost exclusively to French canonical collections from 1091 until the appearance of Gratian's Decretum. Cf. Gossman, , loc. cit. 106. The only purely Italian collection with the canon which Bishop Gossman lists is the Italian Collection in Nine Books of Vat. Bibl. S. Petri C 118, fol. 14^v. On examining the occurrence of the Beneventan decree in this MS, it appears that it was added by a later hand and did not belong to the original collection. To be added to Bishop Gossman's list are: Ivo's Tripartita, Paris BN 3858B, fol. 151^r; Haimo's Abridgment of the Collection in Ten Parts, Clm 2594, fol. 13^r; the Sententiae Magistri A, Vat. lat. 4361, fol. 123^v; and the Sententiae Sidonenses, Vat. lat. 1345, fol. 141^r (written perhaps after Gratian's Decretum).Google Scholar

¹² The eleventh-century Italian collections listed by Fournier-Le Bras which use substantial amounts of both Burchard's Decretum and the Collection in 74 Titles are the Collectio canonum of Anselm of Lucca and the so-called Collection in Two Books (Vat. lat. 3832) (and its early twelfth-century dependent, the Collection of Assisi BC 227).Google Scholar

¹⁴ Professor Fransen has reported, in the proceedings of the Congrès de Droit Canonique Médiéval (Louvain 1959) 102, another MS of the Liber Tarraconensis unknown to P. Fournier when he wrote his article, ‘Le Liber Tarraconensis: Étude sur une collection canonique du xi^e siècle,’ Mélanges Julien Havet (Paris 1895) 261f. The new MS, Tarragona Bibl. Prov. 26, is a short version of the Liber Tarraconensis much like Milan Amb. D 59 Sup. (As long ago as 1929, Valls Taberner reported the Tarragona MS as containing the Collection in 74T. Cf. Le Bras, G., ‘Notes pour servir à l'histoire des collections canoniques,’ RHD⁴ 10 [1931] 131 n. 1.) Since the long and short recensions of the Liber Tarraconensis come from different types of texts, the collection as a whole will bear further study. Until that time it cannot be stated with certainty that the Liber Tarraconensis is a Poitevin collection.Google Scholar

³⁰ 1.1; Turin MS D. IV. 33, fol. 19^r. The sermon is also found in the early twelfth-century Italian collection in Vat. lat. 1350, a collection based primarily on Burchard's Decretum. Cf. Fournier, P., Mélanges Paul Fabre (n. 6 supra) 197. R. Amiet loc. cit. lists two pre-twelfth-century canonical MSS in which the sermon appears: Munich lat. 6241, fol. 97^r–100^r (a canonical MS of the late tenth century); and Lucca Bibl. cap. 124, fol. 193^v–194^v (an eleventh-century MS containing the Decretum of Burchard). Among the pre-Gratianic twelfth-century canonical MSS which Amiet lists are: Vat. Barb. lat. 535, fol. 7^r–8^v (a MS with the Collectio canonum of Anselm of Lucca); Wolfenbüttel Gud. lat. 212, fol. 47^r_v (the Collection of Saint-Germain-des-Prés); Vat. lat. 1355, fol. 310^r–311^v (a Burchard MS of unknown provenance); and Bordeaux Bibl. mun. 11, fol. 76^v–77^r, 179^r–^v .Google Scholar

³³ 3.40; Reims MS 675, fol. 36^r. Presumably because this collection contains canons from seventeen or eighteen books of Burchard's Decretum (LL. VI and XX are missing and LL. XV and XVI are combined), Bras, Fournier-Le, Histoire 2.231, call this collection the Collection in Seventeen Books. (In his description in Mélanges Paul Fabre 205, Fournier, P. calls this collection the Collection of Saint Hilary of Poitiers and notes that the Berlin MS contains only sixteen books.) The tables of contents in more ‘modern’ hands in both the Reims and Berlin MSS suggest that there were formally only three books with other sections added. A close examination of the structure and rubrics of the Collection further suggests that the eleventh-century compiler actually did not view his Collection as one in seventeen books. In the Reims MS, e.g., the first three books are clearly labelled as books. Thereafter the ‘books’ are usually signalled by the words ‘incipit’ or ‘incipiunt.’ Of the books which Fournier-Le Bras list, LL. V, VII, VIII, XII, and XVI are books only in the vaguest sense. In the Reims MS ‘L. V’ has no ‘incipit’ and is found on fol. 48^r_v. ‘L. VII’ (fol. 49^v–55^r [?]) has no ‘incipit’ and is a farrago of diverse canons. ‘L. VIII’ has no ‘incipit,’ is contained on fol. 55^r–56^r, and is hardly distinguishable from ‘L. VII.’ ‘L. XII’ has no ‘incipit’ and is found on fol. 61^r_v. (The ‘modern’ table of contents, however, lists it as a distinct book.) ‘L. XV,’ although not having an ‘incipit,’ does appear to be a formal book (fol. 63^r–69^r). ‘L. XVI’ on penance does not begin with a rubric and appears only on fol. 69^r–70^v. On the peculiarities of the Hereford MS of this collection, cf. Fournier, P., ‘Note sur les anciennes collections’ 130; and Brooke loc. cit. (n. 2 supra).Google Scholar
