Gniezno, Archiwum Archidiecezjalne i Biblioteka Kapitulna, 25

Gniezno, Archiwum Archidiecezjalne i Biblioteka Kapitulna, 25 ("Bibliotheka Kapitulna, 25" in Fowler-Magerl) is a twelfth-century copy of the Collectio Tripartita (siglum N in the Brett/Nowak edition) written in long lines.

The text extends to Tripartita B 20.32, ending in mid-page on fol. 200r, a half leaf; the verso has notes in a modern hand. A short section covering Tripartita B 20 cc. 37-58, 36, 35, is inserted after A 2.46. The scribe rarely distinguishes between 'tamen' and 'tantum', and is haphazard in abbreviations for 'quod', 'quid', 'quis' etc. N is closely related to Berkeley, Robbins 102 (= K) until K ends, less closely to D and M; all four have a shared ultimate archetype.

Unlike DM, however, it has the added canons in B 9 after c 2, otherwise found only in CLRXSV. It has a mass of idiosyncratic readings, and some insertions in A 2 – for these see the DKMN app.pdf file. The text has been heavily annotated by several later hands, including extensive crossreferences to Gratian.

For a full codicological description, with ample bibliography, see Nowak (2008), proposing that the copy was made in South Germany or the Steiermark for Archbishop Jacob of Gniezno (c. 1124-48), and reporting the brief additions on pp. 1-2 and Nowak (2012) 356.
