The most important categories to indicate the place of origins are those referring to ''regions''. Every collection should be in one and only one of the following categories:

*** Subcategories include Poitiers
*** See [[:Category:Collection from Western France]]

Revision as of 16:48, 30 November 2025

If you want to place a collection in a category indicating the place of origin, please use the map and the list below as a guide. Every collection should be in one and only one of the regional categories listed below (see also the map for borders). The category pages (e.g. Category:Collection from Northern France) will show you which collections are already in the category, and normally contain a copy&paste ready category tag (e.g. [[Category:Collection from Northern France]]).

Comment on the Map

The map on the right was created with the Visual Editor in Wikipedia (see https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Benutzer:CRolker/Karte for the original version, with Open Street Map as base map, hence with roads, cities, and modern borders). The goal was to divide the area where Latin canon law collections were produced and copied (most of Western Europe plus northern Africa and the Crusader Kingdoms) into large regions. For this, I have roughly followed the terminology in palaeography, but in many cases terms like "Western France" are used in different ways, so I frequently made ad hoc decisions. Also, drawing the map forced me to define my terminology much more precisely than it is commonly the case in palaeography.

In many cases, I have followed modern administrative borders, so the borders are a compromise between historical meaningful (but often vague) and modern, sometimes anachronistic definitions. Feel free to use the discussion page to make suggestions how to improve the terminology used here.

Other categories

Higher-level categories

Every collection should be in one of the regional categores listed above; these in turn are all subcategories of either Category:Collection from Northwestern Europe or Category:Collection from Southern Europe and Mediterranean. If, exceptionally, it is not possible to place a collection in a regional category, use Category:Collection of which the place of origin is unknown or missing and, if possible, place the collection in either Category:Collection from Northwestern Europe or Category:Collection from Southern Europe and Mediterranean directly.

More specific (sub-)categories

Feel free to use more specific categories to indicate the place of origin, e.g. [[Category:Collection from Bologna]], [[Category:Collection from Chartres]], [[Category:Collection from Italy]]. Such specific categories should be used in addition to the regional categories listed above. If you create new categories, make sure they do not overlap with existing ones and are sub-categories of one of the thirteen regional categories listed above.
