The collection on folios 9r–20v of the Ms Paris, BnF, lat. 13368 (TC) is uninviting. It is not divided into books or titles and was hastily copied, but it contains an older core of texts which was used in the last decade of the 11th century for decretals of pope Gregory I in the Collectio A of the Collectio Tripartita. This older core begins with canon 125 and ends with canon 193. It includes excerpts from the 4th book of the 9th century Quadripartitus and excerpts from the synodica of 1059. In the Mss Paris, BnF, lat. 13413 and 14193 (fol. 87r–94v) and the Ms Antwerp, Musaeum Plantin-Moretus M. 82 (fol. 95v–97v) are collections of canons with great similarity to this older core. In the Ms Antwerp this collection follows directly upon the 4th part of the Quadripartitus. It is likely that the older core in the Ms Paris 13368, like the Quadripartitus, originated in northeastern France. The fuller form of the collection as transmitted in the Ms Paris 13368 was used at Poitiers for the 6th book of the second version of the Tarraconensis, beginning with canon 6.118 of that collection. It was also used for the Appendix Seguntina. [137]

Christof Rolker is examining the sources used by Ivo of Chartres for his letters and the sources used in the collections attributed to him. He found evidence that the collection in the Ms Paris 13368 was used not only to augment the Tripartita A, but also as a source for the Decretum and for some of Ivo’s letters.
