Città del Vaticano, BAV, Pal. lat. 587
Città del Vaticano, BAV, Pal. lat. 587 (saec. XII, in two columns) is a copy of large parts of Ivo's Decretum (D in Brett's edition) with some additions, including a series of texts taken from the Capitula Angilramni.
Pal. lat. 587, fol. 1-105rb has only Decretum 1-6.432, and has lost leaves and, presumably, quires. The first lacuna runs from the end of 1.276 to the middle of 1.298 after fol. 19, the second from 3.30 after the first line to the middle of 3.158 after fol. 38, the third begins in 4.109 and ends in 5.1 after fol. 54, the fourth begins in 5.182 and ends in 5.271 after fol. 70. These losses had been suffered before the early modern foliation was inserted. At the beginning, and sometimes elsewhere, the text is badly rubbed. It is written in several, mostly not very expert, hands. Although the version of the prologue at the beginning lists all seventeen books, the text apparently never extended beyond book 6, since the added matter follows without a break, and this in turn ends before the foot of fol. 108vb, with which the ms ends (Landau 1984, 11-12).
The added matter consists of:
Aug’ in libro contra epistolam Parmeniani Donatiste
Spiritus sanctus in ecclesie preposito vel ministro – [fol. 106ra] – si illos iterum babtizaret.
CSEL 51. 74-83 (2.2.24 – 2.13.31)
Incipiunt capitula que ex Grecis – negocii agebatur. Cap. iDei ordinationem accusat in qua constituuntur – [fol. 108va] – vel permiserit violandum.
Capitula Angilramni ed. Schon cc. 1-51 and 1bis- 20bis, numbered continuously as cc. I – LXXI here, not entirely as the edition. This is Schon’s ms 30 (p. 31) in his Class K.
Decretum domni Paschalis papeDecretum domni Paschalis pape quod decrevit – [fol. 108vb] – vita scientiaque commendat. Amen
Printed from this ms in U-R. Blumenthal, The early councils of Pope Paschal II, 55-6 as Council of Guastalla (1106) c. 4.
D’s readings, and some aspects of its arrangement, align it more closely with M than with any surviving ms, and like M it is sometimes closer to Burchard than CP are. In general
the text is markedly eccentric (as may be seen in the edition of the Prologue, at the beginning of Book I). Its rendering of numbers is particularly idiosyncratic. Its exemplar apparently had a number of interlinear glosses which are here copied into the main text. An extraordinary variant in the rubric to 4.53 suggests that this exemplar was written by an Anglo-Norman scribe (and cf. 4.60). By the fifteenth century the book was in the hands of the Augustinian canons of Holy Cross, Dalby in modern Sweden, as the fly-leaf shows. Michael Gullick and Tessa Webber (personal communication to Brett) suggest it as the work of a minor scriptorium in West Francia, conceivably a Norman one. However, the occasional use of ‘b’ for ‘p’, as in ‘baptismo’ is puzzling in such a context. See further Anzelm Szuromi (2005), who prints extracts from D at 182 nn 8-9, 183 nn 10-11, 200-2.
