The Corpus canonum Africano-Romanum is a canonical collection from late antiquity. The collection was discovered by Cuthbert Hamilton Turner. According to Turner, EOMIA 1.2.3, pp. 623–624, it consisted primarily of three components:
1. Greek councils from the fourth century in Latin translation (Interpretatio Isidori antiqua)
2. The canons of the Council of Serdica (342)
3. A dossier documenting the affair regarding the African priest Apiarius (418x425).
The Corpus canonum Africano-Romanum has not survived in its original form, but it constitutes the major part of two other chronologically arranged collections, the Collectio Frisingensis I and the Collectio Wirceburgensis.
The collection emerged in several steps during the fifth century. Its place(s) of origin are highly disputed. The current title was proposed by Mordek, Der römische Primat p. 542 who opted for an African origin and a later reworking in Rome.
For discussion (and bibliography), see the article on the Frisingensis I.
