Panormia

The Panormia is a short form of the [of Ivo of Chartres] divided into eight partes. In many manuscripts, the collection begins with the preface to the Decretum and for this reason was attributed to Ivo from the twelfth century on.

The formal sources of the Panormia are Ivo's Decretum (for the vast majority of its texts), the collection in the Ms Paris, Bibliothèque de l’Arsenal 713, the Collectio IV librorum (for a handful of canons).

The first version of the Panormia had 134 canons in the 8th part. Most copies have two canons more. These were probably added early. In the present analysis (IP) all 136 canons are registered. A version with 154 canons is found in some manuscripts and in the Migne edition.

Martin Brett, with the help of Bruce Brasington, has made a provisional text available based on a considerable number of other manuscripts. When the readings varied greatly that reading was chosen which was closest to the formal source. I have now adjusted my own analysis in accordance with their text, but have retained the readings which correspond more closely to those in the Collectio X partium, a collection compiled at Thérouanne in the early 12th century. In some cases, I have noted the incipit or explicit in the Brett/Brasington version in the column containing additional information. The readings in 199 the Brett/Brasington version are very close to those in the Collectio XIII librorum in the Ms Vat. lat. 1361, an early 12th Italian collection which combines canons from version A’ of the collection of Anselm with those of the Panormia.

Sebastian Brant published the Editio princeps in Basel in 1499. Melchior Vosmedian made a second edition in 1557 in Louvain. Migne reprinted this second edition in Migne PL 161. 1037–1344. Migne decided to take the prologue for the Panormia from the edition of the Decretum. But the major weakness of the text in the Patrologia latina is that the rubrics in the edition do not appear in any of the manuscript copies. In the earliest copies of the Panormia the individual canons seldom have rubrics. The later copies have more, and attempts are being made to identify families of these rubrics.

Descriptions of the contents of each of the eight parts of the collection come after the prologue. Each description contains a series of what are called capitula. The capitula are not repeated in the text in the way titles are repeated in other collections, but the canons follow in the same sequence and the canons belonging to the same capitulum are often copied so close together that it is difficult, if not impossible, to recognize where one canon ends and the next begins.

The capitula of the eight parts are as follows:

Prima pars istius libri continet de fide, De diversis heresibus, De sacramento fidei idest baptimate et ministerio baptizandorum et consecrandorum et consignandorum et de observatione singulorum et quid conferat baptisma, quid confirmatio, De sacramento corporis et sanguinis Christi, De missa et sanctitate aliorum sacramentorum.

The Panormia became popular immediately because of its compact form and clear organization. More copies have survived of it than of the Liber decretorum of Burchard. Here only a sample of the collections influenced by it. The Panormia was used for the Collectio X partium compiled at Thérouanne in the early 12th century. It was used for a number of minor French collections including the collections in the Mss Paris, Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève 1207; Douai, BM 320 and Paris, BN lat. 16216. It was used by Alger of Lüttich and the early scholastics. In northern Italy it was used, together with the A’ version of the collection of Anselm of Lucca, for the 12th century collection in the Ms Vat. lat. 1361. It was also combined with that version in various manuscripts. At the end of book 10 in all copies of the version A’ are six excerpts from the Panormia of Ivo of Chartres dealing with marriage. Only in the copy in the Ms Florence, BML Ashburnham 53 are they identified as such, however: Incipit VI. Panormie ex libro constitutionum i. tit. viii. In the Ms Florence, BML San Marco 499, following book 13, are canons from books 1 and 6–8 of the Panormia of Ivo. Gratian used the Panormia extensively for his Concordia discordantium canonum. For both the early scholastics and Gratian the prologue was decisive in forming an attitude toward the resolution of apparent conflicts in canon law. Peter Landau has shown that the Panormia was used for the Summa Parisiensis, a summa on the Decretum of Gratian composed in the mid 12th century. 202
