Many of the genuine decretals in ''Tripartita'' A are from the ''[[Collectio Britannica|Britannica]]'', the compiler of which had access directly or indirectly to papal archives. Robert Somerville has pointed out that the version of the canons of the Roman synod of November 1078 in the ''Tripartita'' is that of the earliest form in the Register and not that of the Registrum Vaticanum, which contained corrections and alterations. Almost all the extracts from the letters of popes Gelasius I, Pelagius I, Boniface, Leo IV, John VIII, and Stephen V found in the ''Britannica'' were used for the ''Collectio A''. The texts attributed to pope Gregory I were taken in part directly from his Register and in part from collections compiled in or near Reims.

The second part of ''Tripartita'' A contains conciliar decrees ending with those of the 7th council of Toledo.

General
The Tripartita is an anonymous collection the oldest part of which was compiled in the late eleventh century; it belongs to the so-called Ivonian collections.
As its name suggests, the collection is composed of three parts. Part 1 contains mainly papal letters, part 2 contains mainly conciliar decrees; both are arranged chronologically, and together they form the older part of the collection (= Tripartita A) which must have existed as a separate work for some time before Ivo of Chartres composed his Decretum. While Collectio A was used to produce the Decretum, the third part of the Tripartita (= Tripartita B) is systematically arranged, an abbreviated form of the Decretum. The three parts are subdivided into sections (pontificates in Trip. A1, coundils in Trip. A2, and according to subject matter in Trip. B), and normally quoted in the form "Tripartita A1.2.3" or "Tripartita A1.2, c. 3".
Tripartita A
The most important formal source of Tripartita A is the Brugensis. This collection provided the Tripartita compiler with most of his pseudo-Isidorian material, and he also retained the preface to the Brugensis. The section on a spurious 'Pope Crisogenus' in Tripartita A was inserted because the Brugensis preface mentions this pope. The Tripartita A compiler used a version of the Brugensis which included those texts appended to it which are found in the Ms London BL Cotton Cleopatra C.VIII.
Many of the genuine decretals in Tripartita A are from the Britannica, the compiler of which had access directly or indirectly to papal archives. Robert Somerville has pointed out that the version of the canons of the Roman synod of November 1078 in the Tripartita is that of the earliest form in the Register and not that of the Registrum Vaticanum, which contained corrections and alterations. Almost all the extracts from the letters of popes Gelasius I, Pelagius I, Boniface, Leo IV, John VIII, and Stephen V found in the Britannica were used for the Collectio A. The texts attributed to pope Gregory I were taken in part directly from his Register and in part from collections compiled in or near Reims. The Collectio Sinemuriensis was used as well as the older core of texts in the collection in Paris, BnF, lat. 13368. To ward off objections in advance, it must be said that the Ms Paris 13368 is a rather poor copy and was not the copy used by the compiler of the Tripartita (but the copy we have of the Britannica was also not the copy used by the compiler of the Tripartita). Some of the texts of pope Nicholas I come from the Britannica, but most [188] do not. The decretals of Alexander II and Urban II in the Britannica are not found in the Tripartita.
The second part of Tripartita A contains conciliar decrees ending with those of the 7th council of Toledo. Extracts from the 8th council follow, a profession of faith from the Liber Diurnus, decrees of the Quinisextum (also known as Council in Trullo) and 7th and 8th universal councils. Between the Greek and African councils (from canon 2. 17 onwards) are Sententie Grecorum doctorum taken from the Varia of the Britannica and from the 4th book of the Quadripartitus. At the end of the African councils (from canon 2. 56 onwards) are Sententie … orthodoxorum patrum aut leges catholicorum regum aut synodice sententie Gallicanorum aut Germanorum pontificum. These sententie were taken from the Varia of the Britannica and from the Quadripartitus.
Tripartita B
Tripartita B was compiled considerably later. Although they were compiled several years apart, Collectio A and Collectio B are always transmitted together with one exception: the copy in the Ms Berkeley, Law Library Robbins Collection 102. Martin Brett established in 1992 that the Collectio B used a copy of the Decretum more complete than any of those which survive. The closest to Collectio B is the incomplete copy of the Decretum in the Ms Paris, BnF, lat. 3874.
Two Recensions
Martin Brett, who is preparing an edition of the Tripartita has distinguished two versions. The first (earlier) recension has no capitulatio and almost no rubrics in textu. The second recension is fully articulated. The present analysis is based on a copy of the later version, that in Paris, BnF, lat. 3858B (IT; C in the Brett/Nowak edition“).
The first recension of the Tripartita is contained in the following Mss: Alençon, BM, 135; Berlin, SBPK, Hamilton 345; Cambridge, Gonville and Caius College Library, 455 (393); København, Kongelike Bibliotek, Thott 555 4°; Kraków, Archiwum Krakowskiej Kapituły Katedralnej, 84; Oxford, Bodleian Library, D’Orville 46; Paris, BnF, lat. 3858, 4282 and 13656.
The later version is in the following Mss: Admont, Stiftsbibliothek, Cod. 162; Berkeley, University of California, Law Library, Robbins 102; Berlin, SBPK, lat. fol. 197; Gniezno, Archiwum Archidiecezjalne, 25; München, BSB, Clm 12603; Olomouc, Státní archiv, Universitni knihovna, C.O.205; Paris, BnF, lat. 3858A and 3858B; Reg. lat. 973; Vorau, Stiftsbibliothek, 350; Wolfenbüttel, HAB, Cod. Guelf. 180 Helmst. and Zürich, Zentralbibliothek, Car. C. 42. [189]
The numbering of the canons differs from manuscript to manuscript, and there is no consistency in recent literature. German scholars since Savigny have often used the Berlin copy of the second recension (Berlin, SPKB, lat. fol. 197). The numbering of the canons in the Brett/Nowak edition is noted in the location column with IU. For technical reasons it was not possible to use the numbering of the future edition as the key for the present analysis.
The Manuscripts
There are 26 manuscripts of the Tripartita described in this Wiki. See Category:Manuscript of IT and the individual entries.
Influence
Collectio A would be used for Ivo's Decretum. The complete Tripartita was used to produce many collections including the Cologne 10P, the first and the second version of the Catalaunensis. In England Tripartita B would be used together with the Collectio Lanfranci for the systematic Cllectio canonum Oxford, Bodleian Library, Bodley 561. Triparita B would also be used in the region of Salzburg for the Collectio Admontensis (Admont, Stiftsbibliothek, Cod. 43 and 48) and for the collection in Wien, ÖNB, Cod. 982.
In Milan, the Tripartita would be used to modernize older Milanese collections, the results being the surviving forms of the Collectio Ambrosiana I and Ambrosiana II. In the second quarter of the 12th century the Tripartita was taken to Poland from southern Germany or the Steiermark. The texts on sacraments and matters of monastic concern would also be used for the third collection in the Ms Rome, Biblioteca Vallicelliana F. 54 (on fol. 170r–226r, once a separate collection). The Tripartita was not used for the Collectio IX librorum in Wolfenbüttel, HAB, Gud. lat. 212, although Fournier, Fowler-Magerl, and others have maintained the opposite.
Finally, the Tripartita was among the relatively small number of collections used to produce the Decretum Gratiani. Peter Landau called it the 'Initialzündung' for Gratian's work, and as Anders Winroth has established, it was used both for the first recension (Gratian 1) and the later vulgate version (Gratian 2).
Christof Rolker has examined the letters of Ivo and established that Tripartita A was available to Ivo from the beginning of his episcopate.
