Zürich, Zentralbibliothek, Car. C. 42

Zurich, Zentralbibliothek Car. C 42 (Mohlberg, Mittelalterliche Handschriften no. 250), which belonged to the nunnery of SS Felix and Regula OSB at Zurich (the Frauenmünster) later, saec. XII (probably quite early), written in several hands, contains the second version of the Collectio Tripartita. This copy was first called to more general attention by Robert Somerville.

It has the second version text in a form which belongs in general with the CLRS complex, and agrees most often, though not always, with R (with which it shares a number of omissions, which are more often supplied later in R than in X). Sometimes however it agrees with C even against L. Like CLRS it has Tripartita A1.14.14, A 1.38.26a and the added canons after B9.2, and has the re-arranged versions of A2.39 and B17. It has no additions. Frequent corrections, and additions of text originally omitted, have been inserted by an early hand (perhaps that of the rubricator) in the text and margins, clearly from the exemplar, or from another copy in the same tradition.
