Florilegium in Yale, Beinecke 442
From Clavis Canonum
A number of copies of the long version of the False Decretals contains a florilegium of excerpts from the register of Gregory the Great. The oldest manuscript according to Kerner et al is New Haven, Yale University, Beinecke Library, 442. The florilegium contains 46 (Kerner et al) or 47 (Fowler-magerl) fragments, all but the first beginning with "et alibi".
Kerner et al. 35-37 showed that two erroneous inscriptions in Burchard's Liber decretum can be explained by the use of this florilegium.
Fowler-Magerl poibnted out that the florilegium drew on the C+P transmission of the letters of Gregory, and (like C+P itself) its "circulation was limited for the most part to northern France and Lorraine and neighboring regions" (239)
