Biography/Description

216 items. Closely related to Collectio Bridlingtonensis, both stem from an archetype produced at Canterbury around 1184. The manuscript contains marginal glosses more extensive than Bridlingtonensis, but these are still mostly cross-references to other decretals. Contains the canons of the Council of Tours (1163) and Lateran III (1179) as well as a set of propositions from Richard of Canterbury’s Westminster Council of 1175. It is of Canberbury provenance and dates from 1185–88.
