Collectio IX librorum in San Pietro, C. 118

The form of the Collectio III librorum which contains the decrees of the first Lateran Council of 1123 was revised and divided into nine books, perhaps in northern Italy. This revision has survived in two 236 manuscripts: Vatican, Archivio di San Pietro C. 118 and Berlin, SBPK lat. fol. 522. As was the case in the Collectio III librorum the books were subdivided into titles. The Berlin manuscript contains an earlier form of the collection. The Vatican manuscript has canons added to the ends of a number of titles. The Vatican manuscript was used as the basis for the present analysis (DS) because folios are missing in the Ms Berlin between the end of canon 1.3.5 (in the title De dubiis causis ad apostolicam sedem referendis) and canon 5.3.3 (in the title De privilegiis ecclesiarum). The collection begins with circa 70 canons from the beginning of the collection of Anselm of Lucca. The version A’ was used, a later form than that used for the Collectio III librorum. A number of Ambrosian texts cited by Anselm were left out by the compiler. Canons from the Collectio III librorum follow. There are a several titles which are not to be found in the Collectio III librorum (for example: 3.2.1 De fundatoribus vel dedicatoribus ecclesiarum). This is particularly true at the end of the first title of book 8, which deals with marriage and consanguinity. Many of the canons not found in the collection of Anselm are found in the collections Ambrosiana I and II, especially in Ambrosiana II.

Literature

Johanna Petersmann recognized that the Ms Berlin held a copy of the Collectio IX librorum. See Mordek, Kirchenrecht und Reform, p. 140 n. 197.
