Category talk:Collections belonging to Tarraconenses Group

From Clavis Canonum

I made the argument against the idea of "Poitevin collections" elsewhere. The label I think more useful is based on shared rare texts. to decide which collections belong to the group, I have studied all materials which over time have been used to characterize the "Poitevin" collections, namely:

  • interpolated Burchard canons
  • miracle of Saint Hilary
  • Gregory’s Licet nova consuetudo,
  • Poitiers 1078 canons
  • Gregory VII, In die resurrectionis
  • formula for the consecration of bishops (Ordo Romanus XXXVB),
  • a liturgical text (De septem gradibus)
  • Berengar’s oath of 1079,
  • the Dictatus papae,
  • a unique version of the Donation of Constantine

The Burdegalensis, both versions of the Tarraconensis, the Berlin 13L, the Turin 7L, and Caesaraugustana II/III are the only collections to contain three to eight of these texts. Only few others collections contain any of these texts. The first collection on Tarragona, PB, 35 ios a borderline case - it contains the important Poitiers 1078 material and also Licet nova consuetutdine but none of the other texts, so I tend to see it as Tarraconensis-related but not really part of the group. --Christof Rolker (talk) 11:35, 23 June 2022 (CEST)Reply[reply]
