Categories for collections by region

List of categories

The map on the right was created with the Visual Editor (see https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Benutzer:CRolker/Karte). The goal was to divide the area where Latin canon law collections emerged (most of Western Europe plus northern Africa) into large regions. I roughly followed the tag often found in palaeography, but in many cases terms like "Western France" are used in different ways, so in many cases I made ad hoc decisions.

Many regions are parts of today's states, for the borders I have orientated myself at hetigen administrative areas.

The regions are:

Every region is placed in either Category:Collection from Northwestern Europe or Category:Collection from Southern Europe / Mediterranean, or in a subcategory of either categories (e.g. Category:Collection from Italy.

Feel free to use more specific categories to indicate the place of origin, e.g. </nowiki>||[[Category:Collection from Bologna]], </nowiki>||[[Category:Collection from Chartres]], </nowiki>||[[Category:Collection from Rome]].

Always use only one category, namely the most specific one available.
