Koblenz, Landeshauptarchiv, 701, no. 759,7

Koblenz, Landeshauptarchiv, 701, no. 759,7 are three single leaves of a twelfth-century copy of Ivo's Decretum in long lines of which a fourth survives in Nassau, Archiv der Freiherren vom Stein, sine numero. The latter has the siglum Ka in Brett's edition, while the three Koblenz leaves are Kb, Kc, and Kd; the manuscript behind them is K.

Ka has Decretum 1.78-80 and 92-94, Kb has Decretum 2.129-143, and the first six entries for a capitulatio to book three; Kc has 3.169-180, Kd 3.188-199. The manuscript omits all rubrics, and is distinctive both for its fragmentary capitulatio, otherwise now only attested by the Molinaeus edition (= M), and for an erratic set of rubricated canon numbers in the margins, equally absent in the other manuscripts. The readings in general resemble those of M and Pal. lat. 587 (= D). Given the mixed origins of M it is conceivable that K represents a close relative of the Cologne copy known to Molinaeus or even, though improbably, the Cologne copy itself.
