Anselm of Lucca, Collectio canonum (Abbreviation in Pisa MS)
The manuscript 59 in the Seminario Santa Catarina in Pisa contains on fol. 1–16 a dossier dealing with the rights of monasteries and monks, see below p. 224. The rest of the manuscript contains an abbreviation of the version A’ of the collection of Anselm of Lucca with additions. Among these additions are excerpts from letters of pope Paschal II. There is no capitulation. In the present analysis only the texts not found in version A’ are listed (CY). None of the decrees of the Lateran council of 1123 in version A’ are found here. This may mean that the abbreviator of A’ was using a somewhat earlier form of the collection than that which has survived and that the version A’ originated in Tuscany. It will be recalled that the Ms Florence, BML Ashburnham 53 contains an earlier form of A’ than all of the others. Because many of the texts taken from Anselm are abbreviated and would therefore be unrecognizable to the reader, a brief analysis of the collection as a whole is given below. The references to the texts [S. 222] taken from the collection of Anselm are numbered according to the edition of Friedrich Thaner.
