Dionysius Exiguus soon after he had compiled the [[Collectio Dionysiana prima|first version of the ''Dionysiana'']] felt the need to improve on his first translation. He improved his translation of the Greek councils, added more material, renumbered the canons, and wrote a new preface. In three manuscripts, this conciliar material is combined with the decretal collection Dionysius compiled, containing a total of 38 decretals (of popes Siricius, Innocent I, Zosimus, Bonifacius I, Celestinus I, Leo I, Gelasius I, and Anastasius II) and one imperial rescript. The preface is dedicated to a priest named Julian in the monastery of Saint Anastasius.

Normally the ''Dionysiana II'' is assumed to have contained both parts from the outset. Following Fowler-Magerl's decision, who based her analysis on Juret's edition (on which see below) and hence the assumption that both councils and decretals were an integral part of the ''Dionysiana II'', this definition is retain here, too; however, Firey pointed out that there are only three manuscripts containing the second version of the councils and the decretal collections, and that this may well be the result of a later combination of the materials rather than reflecting Dionysius' original plan.

In the copy of this second version of the ''Dionysiana'' in the Ms [[Oxford, Bodleian Library, e Mus. 103]] (9th century, northeastern France) and in separate copies of the prologue in the Mss [[Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, lat. 1451|Paris, BnF, lat. 1451]] and [[Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, lat. 3846|3846]] and Cologne, [[Köln, Erzbischöfliche Diözesan- und Dombibliothek, 212|Erzbischöfliche Diözesan- und Dombibliothek, 212]] the introductory letter is directed to a bishop Stephan of Salona on the Dalmatian coast. In the Bodleian copy the letter is followed by a ''capitulatio'' with rubrics for all of the canons in the collection. The Greek canons from the councils of Nicaea through Constantinople are numbered without interruption from 1 to 165. Dionysius says that the collection he was using as his source also numbered them so. The canons of Chalcedon are numbered separately and so are the canons of Sardica. Following Sardica is a group of canons from three brief African collections: the ''Brevarium Hipponense'' of 397, the ''Codex Apiarii Causae'' of 419 and the ''Registri Ecclesiae Carthaginensis Excerpta''. Dionysius entitled this group of canons ''Synodus apud Carthaginem Africanorum quae constituit canones CXXXVIII'' and numbered the individual canons accordingly from 1 to 138. The compilers of the ''Hispana'' would take these texts from the ''Dionysiana''.

=== Addition of the Decretals? ===
Modern scholarship often describes (or at least treats) the ''Dionysiana II'' as containing the reworked conciliar canons and papal decretals, just as the 1661 edition presented the work. However, many scholars have articulated doubts about this. For discussion, see the separate article on the [[Liber decretorum Dionysii]].

== The editions ==
The ''editio princeps'' of the ''Dionysiana II'' was published by Christophe Justel in 1628, using the Bodleian manuscript. As {{Author|Firey}} points out, Justel must have used a different source for the decretal part. This edition was reprinted with minimal changes in 1643, and again in 1661 as part of the ''Bibliotheca iuris canonici veteris'', edited by his son Henri together with Guillaume Voel. The 1661 edition in turn was reprinted in {{Author|Migne}} PL 67.137–230 (councils) and 230–316 (decretals).
The ''editio princeps'' of the ''Dionysiana II'' was published by Christophe {{Author|Justel}} in 1628, using the Bodleian manuscript. As {{Author|Brett}}, Theodore points out, Justel for the 1643 edition added "capitula of the decretals as far as Anastasius II from an unknown source" (p. 138), but only the 1661 edition contained the decretals themselves, perhaps from a Hadriana manuscript (see the [[Liber decretorum Dionysii]] article for details). In any case the 1661 edition was reprinted in {{Author|Migne}} PL 67.137–230 (councils) and 230–316 (decretals). This edition was, and still is, widely used in scholarship.


The present analysis is based on {{Author|Migne}} PL 67. For the conciliar canons, only the material not in the first version has been entered in the database with the key {{Coll|DY}}. For the conciliar canons which were rearranged, no separate entry was created; insted, the numbering of Juret (as found in PL 67) is given in the location column of the decretal part of the fist version (search DY in the "Location" like [https://beta.mgh.de/databases/clavis/db/legacysearch?key=&collection=&location=*DY*&authorgroup=&inscription=&title=&incipit=&explicit=&addition=&maxnum=20 here]). The „African canons“ are listed separately with the same key. The decretal part of the second version was entered into the databased from {{Author|Migne}} PL 67. The decretals of each pope are divided into paragraphs and these are numbered separately for each pope, not separately for each letter. The key is {{Coll|DX}}.

General

Dionysius Exiguus soon after he had compiled the Collectio Dionysiana I felt the need to improve on his first translation. Doing so, he added more material, renumbered the canons, and wrote a new preface. In three manuscripts, this conciliar material is combined with a decretal collection containing a total of 38 decretals (of popes Siricius, Innocent I, Zosimus, Bonifacius I, Celestinus I, Leo I, Gelasius I, and Anastasius II) and one imperial rescript.

The revised version is known as the Dionysiana II (DY in the database). The decretal collection (the Liber decretorum Dionysii) has the key DX.

Content and Structure

Prefatory Matter and Canon Numbering

In the copy of this second version of the Dionysiana in Oxford, Bodleian Library, e Mus. 103 (9th century, northeastern France) and in separate copies of the prologue in the Mss Paris, BnF, lat. 1451, Paris, BnF, lat. 3846, and Köln, Dombibliothek, Cod. 212 the introductory letter is directed to a bishop Stephan of Salona on the Dalmatian coast.

In the Bodleian copy the letter is followed by a capitulatio with rubrics for all of the canons in the collection. The Greek canons from the councils of Nicaea through Constantinople are numbered without interruption from 1 to 165. Dionysius says that the collection he was using as his source also numbered them so. The canons of Chalcedon are numbered separately and so are the canons of Sardica. Following Sardica is a group of canons from three brief African collections: the Brevarium Hipponense of 397, the Codex Apiarii Causae of 419 and the Registri Ecclesiae Carthaginensis Excerpta. Dionysius referred to this group of canons as Synodus apud Carthaginem Africanorum quae constituit canones CXXXVIII and numbered the individual canons accordingly from 1 to 138. The compilers of the Collectio Hispana would take these texts from the Dionysiana.

Copies similar to that in the Bodleian manuscript are found in Paris, BnF, lat. 1536 (10th century) and Paris, BnF, lat. 3848 (13th century) and in Sankt Petersburg, Publičnaja Biblioteka im. M. E. Saltykova-Ščedrina, F.v.II.3 (7th century, Burgundy).

Addition of the Decretals?

Modern scholarship often describes (or at least treats) the Dionysiana II as containing the reworked conciliar canons and papal decretals, just as the 1661 edition presented the work. However, many scholars have articulated doubts about this. For discussion, see the separate article on the Liber decretorum Dionysii.

The manuscripts

For manuscripts, see Category:Manuscript of DY (number of entries: 2).

In addition, there are two manuscripts containing excerpts:

For its possible use by the so-called Leiden glosses, see Leiden, Universiteitsbibliotheek, Voss. lat. qu. 69.

The editions

The editio princeps of the Dionysiana II was published by Christophe Justel in 1628, using the Bodleian manuscript. As Brett, Theodore points out, Justel for the 1643 edition added "capitula of the decretals as far as Anastasius II from an unknown source" (p. 138), but only the 1661 edition contained the decretals themselves, perhaps from a Hadriana manuscript (see the Liber decretorum Dionysii article for details). In any case the 1661 edition was reprinted in Migne PL 67.137–230 (councils) and 230–316 (decretals). This edition was, and still is, widely used in scholarship.

The present analysis is based on Migne PL 67. For the conciliar canons, only the material not in the first version has been entered in the database with the key DY. For the conciliar canons which were rearranged, no separate entry was created; insted, the numbering of Juret (as found in PL 67) is given in the location column of the decretal part of the fist version (search DY in the "Location" like here). The „African canons“ are listed separately with the same key. The decretal part of the second version was entered into the databased from Migne PL 67. The decretals of each pope are divided into paragraphs and these are numbered separately for each pope, not separately for each letter. The key is DX.

Literature

See Dionysiana I. - The Brevarium Hipponense of 397, the Codex Apiarii Causae of 419 and the Registri Ecclesiae Carthaginensis Excerpta after 419 were edited by Charles Munier, Concilia Africae A. 345 – A. 525 (CCL 149, Turnhout 1974), pp. 22–53, 98–148 and 173–247 respectively. For a description of these texts see F. L. Cross, History and Fiction in the African Canons, Journal of Theological Studies n.s. 12 (1961), pp. 227–247. – On the editions, see Brett, Theodore, Appendix. - For the source of the decretals used by Dionysius Exiguus see Wurm, Studien und Texte, pp. 108 ff.
