{{DISPLAYTITLE:The florilegium of the Ms Mantua, BCom 439 (D. III. 13)}}

The Ms Mantua, BCom 439 from the Benedictine monastery of Polirone contains, in addition to the ''Liber de vita christiana'' of Bonizo of Sutri, a florilegium of canons on folios 111r–112v. This florilegium deals with questions of penance and accusation. Some of the canons are taken from the ''Liber decretorum'' of Burchard, some directly from the ''Codex'' of Justinian and some from the florilegium ''Pro iniusta causa excommunicationis''. Many of the same canons are also found in a florilegium in the Ms Mantua, BCom 266 (C. I. 4). The florilegium in the Ms Mantua 439 was analysed by Giuseppe Motta and the present analysis ({{Coll|PO}}) is based on his publication. Canon 5, which is inscribed ''Gregorius in registro'', is to be found in the A Aucta version of the collection of Anselm of Lucca in the Ms Mantua, BCom 318 (4. 58a), see above. The collection in the Ms Mantua 439 begins with an excerpt from a letter of pope Urban II with the inscription: ''Dominus papa Urbanus in capitulo sancti Rufi'' (JL 5760). This canon is found in the ''Polycarpus'' (4. 32. 82), but with a less informative inscription (''Urbanus papa''). Only in the ''Collectio III librorum'' (2. 5. 35) and the abbreviation of that collection in 9 books is the inscription the same.
