Biography/Description

Deeters 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. Their geographical spread attests to the influence of the group. Duggan has argued that the ‘Urbambergensis’ was compiled at Tours.
