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:

• France and its neighbors
  • Category:Collection from Western France = region Aquitaine-Limousin-Poitou-Charentes
  • Category:Collection from Southern France = Auvergne-Rhones-Alpes, Provence ..., Languedoc, plus Catalonia and French-speaking Switzerland south of Lake Geneva
  • Category:Collection from Eastern France = Bourgogne-Franche Comté and Grand Est plus Belgium, Luxembourg and French-speaking Switzerland north of Lake Geneva.
  • Category:Collection from Northern France = the rest, i.e. Brittany, Normandy, Ile de France, Pays-de-la-Loire and Centre-Val-de-Loire.
• Category:Collection from Iberian Peninsula (Portugal and Spain but not Catalonia)
• Italy
  • Category:Collection from Northern Italy = Italy north of the Appennino settentrionale inluding Italian and Rhaeto-Romanic speaking Switzerland
    • subcategories include Florence, Milan, Polirone, ...
  • Category:Collection from Central Italy = the modern regions of Marche, Umbria, Abbruzzo and Lazio
    • subcategories include Rome
  • Category:Collection from Southern Italy = everything south of Central Italy, including Sicily
• Germany
  • Category:Collection from Southern Germany = Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria, German-speaking northern Switzerland and parts of Austria (the states of Upper Austria, Salzburg, Carinthia, Tyrol nud Vorarlberg)
  • Category:Collection from Western Germany = North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Hesse, Saarland
    • subcategories include Worms
• Category:Collection from England = England and Wales
• Category:Collection from Ireland = Ireland (island)
• Category:Collection from Northern Africa = the late-antique Province of Africa

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. [[Category:Collection from Bologna]], [[Category:Collection from Chartres]], [[Category:Collection from Rome]].

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