Biography/Description

A supplement to the Collectio Francofurtana. Systematic collection with 381 items arranged in 31 titles. Associated with the circle of Walter of Coutances, Archbishop of Rouen. The collection’s core was completed post 1185 (end of Lucius III’s pontificate), but professional canonists then added decretals from Clement III, Celestine III, and Innocent III. The compiler used Rainier of Pomposa’s collection (c.1201) for more than 20 decretals of Innocent III. Formerly referred to as Rotomagensis and Parisiensis III.
