Description of the collections

Here you can find the descriptions of all collections contained in the database. The backbone of this part of the wiki is the digitized version of Linda Fowler-Magerl, Clavis Canonum. Selected Canon Law Collections Before 1140: Access with data processing (MGH Hilfsmittel 21, 2005). Most entries covering several collections have been split into individual entries, but the old heading have been preserved (e.g. "The Dionysiana").

But note: This is an evolving page. While this section started with a verbatim copy of Linda's book, some passages have been (sometimes heavily) modified, some articles on multiple collection have been split, and some articles were added as new collections were fed into the database. If you need to quote the original book, please refer to the digitized exemplar (NOT the text found in this wiki). (@@@TODO: not yet available)
