Oxford, Oriel College Library, 42
From Clavis Canonum
Oxford, Oriel College, 42 is a copy of the Collectio Quesnelliana "updated" from the False Decretals.
Quesnel used it alongside Paris, BnF, lat. 3842A for his edition. Brett called the Oriel manuscript "the latest and worst surviving copy" (cited in Vanspauwen p. 492 n. 15; pace Kéry, p. 27 who write "saec. XII (Silva-Tarouca, ‘Beiträge’ 661: saec. XIII, Prov. Malmesbury [Wiltshire]; cf. Ker, Medieval Libraries of Great Britain” 128); Quesnel’s edition is based on a copy of this latest and most reliable manuscript of the collection which is now kept at the Bodleian Library, Oxford (cf. R. M. Thompson, “The Reading of William of Malmesbury’, RB 85 [1975] 362-402)"
