The manuscript Roma, Biblioteca Vallicelliana, B.89 contains on fol. 3r–26v a collection consisting of blocks of canons taken from several 11th century collections. Canons 1–92 are from the version of the Sinemuriensis in the Ms Madrid, BNE, 428; canons 104–132 from the Cassino version of the 74T; canons 135–150 from the collection of Deusdedit and canons 151–153 (according to Wilfried Hartmann) from the Collectio VII librorum of the Torino, BNU, D.IV.33. The Vallicelliana manuscript is apparently that vetustus codex used to make a copy for Antonio Agustín, archbishop of Tarragona. There is no capitulatio, few rubrics and no numbering. [172]
The quires were rebound together incorrectly at some point, as Hartmann has shown. The present fol. 19r should follow immediately upon the present fol. 10v. Hartmann has numbered the canons according to the present state of the codex. I have renumbered them to return the collection to its original state (VL). The numbering of Hartmann (VM) can be found in the location column. The recto side of folio 3 is illegible, but two of the texts on the reverse side can be identified. In the present analysis they are numbered 30b and 30c and they preceed logically the series of excerpts from the Sinemuriensis (2. 79 and 2. 92 of the Madrid version) now found on fol. 25v. The sixth decree of the Roman council of March 7, 1080 (Reg. 7. 14a) is found in the collection twice: VL 98 (VM 52) and VL 155 (VM 109).
It is possible that the texts which Hartmann attributes to the Collectio VII librorum actually came from a copy of the collection of Deusdedit. The apparent reason for his attribution is that VL 151–153 (VM 105–107) have the same inscription as canons 3. 179–180 in the Turin manuscript: ex legibus imperatorum Karoli et Ludowici. In the edition of Deusdedit the canons 4. 292–294 (DV 4. 154. 1–3) have the inscription: Ex legibus Francorum regum. In a footnote, however, Wolf von Glanvell notes that in the copy of Deusdedit in the Ms Paris, BnF, lat. 1458 the inscription reads: Item ex legibus imperatorum Karoli et Lodoici.
Literature
For an analysis of the collection see Wilfried Hartmann, Die Kanonessammlung der Handschrift Rom, Biblioteca Vallicelliana B.89, BMCL 17 (1987), pp. 45–64. His interest was drawn to the collection by the presence of a rare text, the Lex sacrilegum of the council of Troyes 878. – Kéry, Collections p. 293.
