Antwerpen, Museum Plantin-Moretus, M 227 (Cat. no.144; ex All Souls College, Oxford)

On fol. 1-63 it contains a collection which Kulikowski called the Excerpta Antwerpensia, and on fol. 90r-146v an incomplete abbreviated version of Ivo's Decretum. The Antwerp copy excerpts all seventeen books, and does not coincide in its omissions and inclusions with either the Harley group (on which see London, British Library, Harley 3090) or with the Lincoln abbreviation, and is much shorter than either.

See Michael Kulokowski, ‘An English abridgement of the Hispana of Autun at Antwerp’, ZRG 83 (1997) 198-208, esp. 198-9 treating the whole ms as English, and written s. xii/xiii. Neil Ker, Records of All Souls Library 1437-1600 (Oxford Bibl. Soc. ns 16 (1971) 19-20, 132 shows it was presented to All Souls in 1471 by its first Master, and suggests rather s. xii1, and possibly a French origin. Andrew Watson, A descriptive catalogue of the medieval manuscripts of All Souls College, Oxford (1997) 268 also prefers the earlier date.
