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 various manuscripts containing members of the B.-group were then produced over more than two decades and were influenced by other collections. From the abbreviation Coll. Cass., it has sometimes mistakensly been called the Collectio Cassinensis. This particular collection appears in two versions, referred to as Kassel/Casselana B and C, the former of which is now in Bamberg.
