With few exceptions the canons in the collection in Köln, Historisches Archiv, Bestand 7010, 199 (KO) are taken from Collectio A of the Tripartita. The prologue is also the same. Each of the ten parts is divided into distinctiones. In the last part these distinctions are sometimes called portitiones. As in the Tripartita, the most recent decretals are those of pope Urban II. A notable number of his decretals, scattered throughout the collection, concern the discipline of canons regular. The decree Mandamus et mandantes, attributed here (7. 6. 2) to the council of Piacenza (1095), prohibits canons regular from becoming monks. A decree belonging with certainty to that council, De communi clericorum vita (6. 1. 6), forbids canons from having benefices of their own. Due leges sunt (JL 5760), here attributed simply to „Urbanus“ (5. 16. 21), forbids those who have vowed to lead the common life from breaking that vow. Inserted into book four is a distinction not numbered and not listed in the capitulatio: De usu pallii in cena domini et de gloria in excelsis et alleluia et de diebus purgationum.

The titles of the first five parts are taken from the Decretum of Ivo. On fol. 10r–13r is a description of the parts: Prima pars continet de fide et baptismo et manus impositione, habens undecim distinctiones. Secunda pars continet de sacramento corporis et sanguinis domini, de missa et de quibusdam aliis officiis, de reverentia sacrorum vasorum et vestimentorum, de unctione infirmorum et conspersione salis et aque, habens decem et septem distinctiones. Tercia pars continet de ecclesia et de rebus ecclesiasticis et de sacerdotibus et earumdem reverencia et observacione, habens decem et octo distinctiones. Quarta pars continet octo distinctiones. Quinta pars continet de electione et consecratione pape, archiepiscoporum, presbiterorum et reliquorum graduum, habens distinctiones sedecim. Sexta pars continet de vita et correctione supradictorum graduum, habens distinctiones xiii. Septima pars continet de monachis et sacris virginibus et viduis, habens distinctiones xvii. Octava pars continet de negotiis et causis clericorum, habens xiiii. Nona pars maxime agitur de vita et instructione et correctione laicorum, habens distinctiones decem et septem. Decima pars continet de coniugio et de transgressione eius et fornicatione diversi generis, habens xv. porticiones. [192]

The one surviving copy of the collection in ten parts was made several decades later than the collection itself. Decrees from the councils of Clermont-Ferrand (1130) and Reims (1131) and from the second Lateran council of 1139 are found at the end of the manuscript. The name Nicholas is always spelled „Nykolaus“, an indication that the manuscript was copied east of the Rhine. The manuscript belonged for a time to the Stift Knechtsteden, which was founded by the Premonstratensians in 1130. Folios are missing between the present folios 25 and 26, and as a result the canons between part 2 distinction 5 and part 3 distinction 8 are missing. The first distinction in part 6 is also missing.

Manuscripts

Literature

The first person to recognize the significance of the collection was Johanna Petersmann, Die kanonistische Überlieferung des Constitutum Constantini bis zum Dekret Gratians: Untersuchung und Edition, DA 30 (1974), pp. 447–449. The manuscript had been known until then only for its artful initials and texts dealing with trade in Cologne in the early 12th century. Bruce Brasington generously put notes on this collection at my disposal. – For the texts on canons regular see Charles Dereine, L’élaboration du statut canonique des chanoines réguliers spécialement sous Urbain II, RHE 46 (1951), pp. 534–565. – Kéry, Collections p. 287.
