| Summary: | The Paris manuscript, lat. 3922A of the Bibliothèque Nationale, contains an important group of legal works, written in the early part of the thirteenth century, some of which have in recent years interested historians of the canon law. One section (fols. 118v-126v) has not, to my knowledge, been described fully in print. In 1951, Dr. Walther Holtzmann, who had examined it some years before, kindly brought it to my notice. The bearing of this section on the questions posed by other parts of the volume cannot be thoroughly appreciated until the volume has been examined as a whole: for this we must await the description by Mme. Rambaud, conservateur au Cabinet des Manuscrits, who is engaged in cataloguing the canonistic manuscripts of the Bibliothèque Nationale. For the moment, an analysis of this section may have some value in throwing light on the methods of compilators and in discovering a few new or improved texts. The whole volume seems to emanate from the Anglo-Norman school and Rouen was probably its place of origin. The collection of decretals on fols. 148r-167v has therefore been suitably christened ‘Rotomagensis.’ It may be convenient to style it ‘Rotomagensis I’; then the collection on fols. 211r-227v, based upon Compilatio I, may be called ‘Rotomagensis II,’ and the section with which this article is concerned becomes ‘Rotomagensis III.’ |
