Lincoln, Cathedral Chapter Library, 193 (saec. XIImed, England) contains fol. 1-158 a copy of Ivo's Decretum (L in Brett's edition), and on fol. 159-205 an abridged version of the Collectio Lanfranci (Kéry, Collections p. 241).
It contains a heavily abbreviated version of all seventeen books of the Decretum, which is distinct from H and its congeners in what it selects and omits, and has been partially re-arranged. Of the examples of canons with major variants which H shares with R against CP (see the article on Harley 3090), L only includes three, 1.306, 6.415 and 12.29, but these follow the same pattern. L is also linked to R by its adding a form of 1.306 at the end of book XVII; very few variants have been noted between R and L, and both are Lincoln books, though the hand of L appears the earlier. For the omissions see Brett's concordance. The relation of L to R was discussed briefly by Paul Fournier from notes supplied by Z.N. Brooke in his ‘Note sur les anciennes collections canoniques conservées en Angleterre’. The manuscript is listed in the library catalogue of the cathedral of c. 1160 printed by Reginald Woolley, Catalogue of the manuscripts of Lincoln cathedral chapter library (1927), v-x as no. 38. The collation in Brett's edition of the Decretum is highly selective.
For the sigla of Brett's edition, see the list in the article on Ivo's Decretum.
