Bern, Burgerbibliothek, Cod. 442 (saec. X 1/2) contains a small canon law colllection on procedural law drawing on a broad range of formal sources including the Collectio Vetus Gallica, Collectio Quesnelliana, Collectio Hispana, Collectio Dionysio-Hadriana, Statuta ecclesiae antiqua, and Pseudoisidorian materials. As Schon was able to demonstrate, the Danieliana was producced using the very materials from Pseudoisidore‘s workshop also used in the making of the false capitularies (Benedictus Levita, Collectio capitularium) and indeed should be seen as a product of the same circle of forgers. Strikingly, the Danieliana extends the protection Pseudoisidore gave bishops to the lower clergy by several times replacing episcopus with sacerdos or diaconus.
