Firenze, BML, Calci 11 (until 1975: Calci, Archivio della Certosa Monumentale, 9) is a complete copy of Burchard.
Provenance and Codicology
Prov. Santa Maria e Santo Gorgone (near Pisa)
Parchment; 204 folios; 385-390x260 mm; two columns of 47 lines. Three illuminated initials only, although spatium was left for more initials. Script and illumination suggest an origin in Tuscany saec. XII1/4, perhaps Pisa (Mordek).
Contents
Firenze, BML, Calci 11 is a complete Liber decretorum with some gaps and additions. The most complete analysis is that by Mordek. After book three, there is no synodal order (Schneider, p. 231)) In book seven, there is no arbor (according to Manus) but Mordek reports an addition after cap. 30 (before the explicit):
- XXXVIII De incertis et inutilibus coniunctionibus. Consobrina nepotem novercam - sacerdos loci consideraverit. Pater autem dictus eo quod patratione - michi auunculus est.
After book 19 follows the Admonitio synodalis (enlarged from Ordo 17). The copy originally ended with BU20.057 on fol. 181r but was added to according to Mordek as follows:
- Nach zwei Zwischenstücken (Si quis sacerdotum vel reliquorum clericorum - nolite peccare und De moribus christiani Augustinus - benedictio non gaudere) folgt das Ende von Buch XX: die Kapitel 58-110 (bis fol. 192ra).
Then follow (on fol. 193rb-204vb) additions (identified as Excerpta canonum by Sismel) also found in Lucca, Biblioteca Capitolare Feliniana, 124, fol. 166vb-174vb, namely the canons of Seligenstadt and excerpts from the Collectio Novariensis, a Pseudo-Clementine letter, and Pseudo-Damasus JK †244 De vana superstitione (fragmentary here, but complete in Lucca codex). Jasper, p. 18 identified further pieces (not in Lucca 124). The Novariensis passages in the Firenze copy do not, as the complete version does, cover the synodal order known as Ordo 1 (Schneider, MGH Ordines p. 127). The ending of the text in mid-sentence at the end of fol. 204v suggests a loss of further folios.
Digital Images
The only digital images available online (fol. 1r and 2r) show Burchard's preface and a capitulatio for all 20 books of the Liber decretorum
Shelfmark
Note that Kéry, Collections apparently refers to the manuscript under both its current and the former shelfmark:
- On p. 75, "Firenze, BML, Calci 11" is mentioned for Hibernensis (sic) excerpts on fol. 181-183; note that this shelfmark is not in the manuscript index.
- "Calci, Archivio delle Certosa Monumentale, 9" is in Pokorny's list of Burchard manuscripts (Kéry, Collections p. 138) and mentioned as similar to the Lucca Burchard (pp. 139, 147).
