Wolfenbüttel, HAB, Cod. Guelf. 9.4 Aug. 4° is a twelfth-century manuscript. Provenance probably St. Johann Baptist and St. Blasius, Braunschweig (at least of the first part). The manuscript has rarely been studied; the fullest accounts are those in the 1900 catalogue by Heinemann and that by Gilchrist in his 74T edition; however, Gilchrist did not see the manuscript himself but relied on an anlysis by Fransen (see Prolegomena p. l note *). Autenrieth pointed out the parallels to the appendices in a number of 74T manuscripts.

  • fol. 1ra-28rb: Collectio LXXIV titulorum. According to Gilchrist, this version of 74T has no capitulatio. The canons are numbered to c.315, but the Swabian Appendix is unnumbered. Some canons are missing (for example c.145 and c.146), few are transposed (cc. 27 and 28), and numbering occasionally goes wrong.
  • fol. 28rb-29rb: Swabian Appendix to 74T. As far as I can see, the Swabian Appendix is not in full and ends at c. 325.
  • fol. 29rb-47bis follow more canons, that the scribe seems to perceive as a continuation of the same collection. This includes three series of canons De ecclesiis, De illicitis coniunctionibus, and 'Brevis denotatio similar to those in Stuttgart, WLB, HB.VI.107 and a number of other 74T manuscripts.
  • fol. 47ra-53va: Epitome Hadriani (also in the Stuttgart manuscript and related 74T copies).
  • fol. 53va-64v: various canon law material not described in the literature apart from Heinemann who pointed out a papal catalogue up to and including Gregory VII (fol. 62-63) and a Brevis expositio conciliorum (fol. 63-64v) similar to that in Stuttgart, WLB, HB.VI.107 and a number of other 74T manuscripts.
  • fol. 64v-158va: Some derivate of Burchard of Worms, Liber decretorum which Heinemann dubbed Ordinationes ecclesiastice in XXI libros distribute (not in Kéry; apparently not described in the literature). A change of hand on 57r, it looks to me like a different manuscript.
  • fol. 158va-159: a note on the Lateran council of 1110

Glosses

The text has several glosses, as decribed in Dusil's Wissensordnungen. Glossa to c.137 “Hoc decretum a leone etiam esse dicitur promulgatum ad episcopos mauritanie”. The same gloss (a bit differently formulated) can be found in Engelberg, Stiftsbibliothek, 52. Gloss to c. 242 "Idem sanctus leo papa scribens ad maximum antiocenum episcopum precipit ne quis preter sacerdotes audeat predicare". The same gloss is in München, BSB, Clm 22289 and in St. Gallen, Stiftsbibliothek, Cod. Sang. 676. A gloss post c. 289 ante tit.66. "Hanc synodum factam scitote vi anno leonis imperatoris et hunc gregorium iii non secundum nominari qui et sanctum bonifacium magontiaci archiepiscopum ordinavit". Similar but not identiacal gloss is in Stuttgart, WLB, HB.VI.107 and Città del Vaticano, BAV, Vat. lat. 4160.
