A late 10th century catalogue of the monastery of St. Emmeram in Regensburg lists 18 canon law collections and two penitentials, as Peter Landau notes, indication of considerable interest in canon law. The Collectio Emmerami is not the earliest manuscript containing canon law from St. Emmeram. A manuscript formerly in Regensburg, 64 the Ms Copenhagen, Kongelige Bibliotek, Ny kgl. Saml.58 8°, contains the penitential Excarpsus Cummeani which is based on Anglo-Saxon and Irish penitentials, and the Epitome Hispana. Copies of the Dionysio-Hadriana were also present at Regensburg together with the collection of Cresconius. But the collection named after the monastery of saint Emmeram is also the first collection compiled there. It is a collection of circa 500 chapters found only in a 12th century copy in the Ms Clm 14628, on fol. 1r–34v. The collection is an accumulation rather than a systematic collection. It contains canons from Merovingian and Carolingian councils as well as from Greek, African and Spanish councils. It is the first German collection to use much of the pseudoisidorian decretals. The most recent texts are from the council of Tribur under Arnulf in 895. Landau dates the collection between 910–920 partly because the compiler knew of the collection of Regino of Prüm. Landau associates the collection with the abbot Tuto (894– 930) who is known to have favored the library. For the present analysis (EX) I made use of an analysis prepared at the Monumenta Germaniae Historica in Munich by Christine Jakobi-Mirwald.
