Collection Collectio Anselmo dedicata
Author Lotte Kéry


Metz, BM, 100 was a copy of the Collectio Anselmo dedicata lost and likely destroyed in 1944.

The online description (https://bm.metz.fr) describes it as follows:

Collectio canonum vetustissima, jubente b. Anselmo, archiepiscopo cantuariensi, compilata [...] Provenance : cathédrale de Metz Réserve précieuse : MS 100. Manuscrit perdu en 1944, réputé détruit".

This description seems to confuse the Anselmo dedicata both with the collection of Anselm of Lucca and one attibuted to Anselm of Canterbury; however, many scholars familiar with the Anselmo dedicata have used the Metz manuscript (Savigny, Dobschütz, Fournier) so there can be no doubt it really contained this collection, not any other Anselmiana. See already the 849 catalogue 8CGM 5 pp. CXXXVI-CXXXVII.

Commonly dated to the 12th century (e.g. Dobschütz).

See Kéry, Collections p. 125. Note that the entry "Metz, Biblioteca civica, lat. 100" in Clavis handbook p. 273 refers to this manuscript.
