Appendix Concilii Lateranensis

1st recension: 1184–1185

 

Alternative Names

Collectio Lincolniensis

 

Biography/Description

A systematic decretal collection which derives from a source common with the ‘Wigorniensis Group.’ It has narrowly focused titles and dissects decretals, placing different sections in different titles. Its first recension was written at Lincoln, 1184–85 (in earlier literature named as a separate collection, the Collectio Lincolniensis). This large work exerted great influence on many later collections including members of the ‘Bamberg Group’. The first recension contains 570 items, only 15 of which are pre-Gratian.
