The Breviarium Extravagantium was compiled around 1190 by Bernard of Pavia. Its structure - splitting thematic titles into 5 broad books - proved successful and was adopted as a model by many later canonical collections, including the Liber Extra. Bernard's collection included letters up until the pontificate of Clement III; later, in the early thirteenth century, collections were made of decretals of Innocent III and of other twelfth-century letters omitted by Bernard. These were titles the Compilationes Tertia and Secunda respectively, and Bernard's Breviarium became known as the first compilation, or the Compilatio Prima.
In theory, all early compilationes were declared outdated with the promulgation of the Liber Extra by Gregory IX. Nevertheless, well over a hundred copies of Compilatio Prima are known to survive.
Glosses and Commentaries
The Breviarium was very quickly glossed and annotated, with Bernard himself writing a commentary less than 10 years after compiling his collection. While many copies of the apparatus circulated as glosses to the text, some manuscripts instead preserve the commentaries alone.
Breviarium Extravagantium on Clavis: in progress.
We have transcribed Friedberg's Breviarium edition: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18m1umdtu_6se0_m-eprwSP5C-Vb8IKDkh0B2DHbyhE8/edit
Danica and Christof are currently reworking it so it can be integrated into the database. The initial plan was to base this edition off Friedberg's analysis, combined with Friedberg's edition of the Liber Extra, as he in the Breviarium edition often refers to it.
Correlating the different proved trickier than they imagined and so, after some work and discussions, they have decided instead to base their work on Bamberg, Staatsbibliothek, Msc.Can.19.
For copies of the Breviarium, see Category:Manuscript of BE
