Biography/Description

124 items, the core of which belonged to the pontificate of Alexander III (1159–81). The decretals were assembled unsystematically by at least three scribes at different times, in a process that seems to have lasted from c.1194 until 1199 or later. Apparently, the collection was designed as a supplement and update of Continuatio prima, since they do not contain any common material.
