Biography/Description

Part of the Bambergensis-Group, a group of twelve closely related decretal collections. Walter Deeters has postulated that all members of the Bambergensis-group sprang from an archetype, ‘Urbambergensis’, consisting of 418 items in 56 titles. This putative collection would have been produced c.1180. The twelve manuscripts or fragments containing members of the B.-group were then produced over more than two decades and were influenced by other collections. This collection, the Bambergensis proper, was most likely made at Tours, is arranged in 55 titles with a more advanced systematization than previous collections, and contains the canons of the Third Lateran Council (1179) at the end.
