Sigüenza, Biblioteca del Archivo de la Catedral de Sigüenza, 61

Sigüenza, Archivo de la Catedral, 61 is a copy of Ivo's Decretum (S in Brett's edition). saec. XIII, in double columns. Contains only Decretum 9.3 to 17.135 med., quires 32-54 of the original book, though the last quire has only one original leaf. It has a number of canons which are not found in that sequence in manuscripts CRPVBM; a few are also in the same sequence in Paris, Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal, 713 (= A; e.g. Decretum 9.109A-B, 10.53A, 10.185A); more are in sequence in the Burchard or Benedictus Levita source but in no other manuscripts of Ivo (e.g. Decretum 9.103A; 14.114A-C, 15.45A, 54A, 55A, 56A, 84A; 16. 301A, 354A). This suggests that these are canons dropped from the earlier and fuller form in other copies, rather than insertions by the late S or its exemplar. The readings also show no consistent agreement with PV or CR where these diverge, again consonant with the view that S descends from a copy of a very early state of the text. The copy does have idiosyncracies of its own, including a number of inscriptions which are truncated or even absent; the highly selective recording of S’s variants in the online edition conceals their frequency.
