San Daniele del Friuli, Biblioteca Civica Guarneriana, 203 (northern Italy, saec. XIex/XIIin) contains the Libellus contra invasores et simoniacos et reliquos scismaticos of Deusdedit together with a canon law collection which is an augmented version of the Collectio LXXIV titulorum (74T). The present analysis is based on that of Uta-Renate Blumenthal (GU). The only texts in the data bank are those not found in the 74T, however.

Robert Kretzschmar has identified the sub-group of the Cassino version of the 74T used as that used for the Collectio II librorum / VIII partium and for the treatise De misericordia et iustitia of Alger of Lüttich. [229] There is a capitulatio in two parallel columns preceding the collection identical in form to the capitulatio which often accompanies the 74T. The collection begins with 221 canons taken from the 74T with three additional texts. Appended to this block of texts are canons on lapsed clergy. These are followed by canons 23–25 of the 74T and a number of texts on excommunication. Further canons from the 74T follow; these deal with simony and nicolaitism, penitence, marriage and consanguinity. A number of these texts are from the A Aucta version of the collection of Anselm of Lucca. Canons 321a and b may come from the collection of Deusdedit (4.158.9 and 10) or from a derivative collection.

Literature

The collection was discovered and analysed by Uta-Renate Blumenthal, The Codex Guarneriana 203. A manuscript of the Collection in 74 Titles at San Daniele del Friuli, BMCL 5 (1975), pp. 11–34. I am grateful for the microfilm copy she put at my disposal. – For Alger see Kretzschmar, Alger von Lüttichs Traktat, pp. 86–87 n. 109, 88–92, 95 n. 160.
