Main author Rolker

Paris, BnF, lat. 13368 is a composite manuscript. It is mainly known for Abelard's works found here, but on fol. 9r–20v it also contains a canon law collection. This small anonymous collection extant in different versions in a handful of copies (no two of which contain exactely the same canons) was first studied from Paris, BnF, lat. 13368 by Linda Fowler-Magerl, who described it as "uninviting" but also highlighted it as an interesting manuscript.

The quires that contain the collection have nothing to do with the first quire (fol. 1-8, a copy of the Rule of Saint Augustine) or the material from fol. 21 on. The text is written in a small Caroline minuscle of the twelfth century in two columns. Some text is lost due to trimming both on the bottom and the top of the page, and some text is illegible because of the tight binding.
