London, British Library, Royal 11.D.VII is a copy of Ivo's [[Ivo of Chartres, Decretum|''Decretum'']] ('''R''' in {{author|Brett}}'s edition); from Lincoln, in double columns, saec. XII/XIII. Close to [[Cambridge, Parker Library, 19]] = '''C''' (Landau 1984, 10), though certainly not a copy of it, since '''R''' lacks '''C'''’s early additions, does not always follow its errors and, more cogently, has a number of additions and substantial variants. '''R''' alone shares ''Decretum'' 1.306 with the Molinaeus edition (= '''M'''), with which it shares some other idiosyncracies in detail. Further, some of '''R'''’s peculiarities are not reported in any other copy of the complete text, but do occur in the Harley group of abbreviations (see [[London, British Library, Harley 3090]]), and occasionally in [[Lincoln, Cathedral Chapter Library, 193]] (= '''L'''). More ambiguously, both '''C''' and '''R''' have sometimes been similarly corrected. 

Like '''C''', the London codex is in very large format, double column, written on thick parchment, with coloured and decorated initials. The rubricated annotations, particularly in book 7, might suggest that it, or its ancestor, was the product of a monastic scriptorium. These nota marks have not been recorded with any consistent care, and are much more numerous than is here suggested. The Lincoln cathedral library catalogue of c. 1160 (cf [[Lincoln, Cathedral Chapter Library, 193|'''L''']]) lists a copy of Ivo’s "Decreta" as no. 15, but that looks rather too early to be this book.
