The canonical tract known as the ''De ratione Matrimonii'' is an excerpt from book 45 of the [[Collectio Hibernensis]] on marriage. Its earliest manuscript witnesses date from the ninth century, but it is plausible that the tract was excerpted from a full copy of the [[Collectio Hibernensis]] in the eighth century. ''De ratione Matrimonii'' enjoyed a wide circulation: at least 24 manuscripts witnesses survive, of which most contain excerpts. The collection has been edited by Kunstmann in 1861 from a single manuscript witness: [[München, BSB, Clm 6242]]. | The canonical tract known as the ''De ratione Matrimonii'' is an excerpt from book 45 of the [[Collectio Hibernensis]] on marriage.

The canonical tract known as the De ratione Matrimonii is an excerpt from book 45 of the Collectio Hibernensis on marriage. Its earliest manuscript witnesses date from the ninth century, but it is plausible that the tract was excerpted from a full copy of the Collectio Hibernensis in the eighth century. De ratione Matrimonii enjoyed a wide circulation: at least 24 manuscripts witnesses survive, of which most contain excerpts. The collection has been edited by Kunstmann in 1861 from a single manuscript witness: Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Clm 6242.
The collection has thirty chapters with—in total—about 59 canonical rules on various aspects of marriage. In many of the manuscript witnesses, the chapters are numbered, and the title De ratione matrimonii occurs in most copies. The work is likely to have been one of these canonical works that functioned on a local level. It is a brief and practical tract on ‘legitimate marriage’ that stays away from the complex rules on consanguinity and inheritance but offers instead moral guidelines on continence and chastity within legitimate marriage.
Manuscripts and transmission

There are at least 23 extant manuscripts which contain the De ratione Matrimonii, dating from as early as the early ninth century to as late as the twelfth, ranging geographically from northern France to Italy. Its earliest and most complete witnesses all seem to originate from southern Germany, which may be where the tract was first compiled.
