Royal MS 9 F II

DECRETALS with commentary, viz.:-

1. Decretals of Gregory IX (the compilation of Ray. mundus) with the preface addressed to Paris. Marginal glossa ordinaria as in 9 C. I, 9 C. II. Table of rubrics on f. 1.

2. 'Noue decretales primi (- quinti) libri': text, with. out gloss, of the Constitutiones of Innocent IV pro. mulgated at the Council of Lyons. Difrers somewhat from the text printed in Mansis Concilia, xxiii. 651 (cf. 8 D. III, art. 9, 11 B. V, art. 4). Imperfect, a leaf being lost after f. 202 and again at the end. In the margin are a number of glosses taken from Hostiensis and others, but they refer to various chapters in the Gregorian decretals, Gratian, &c., and not to the text against which they stand. f. 202 b. A 15th cent. owner who has added a good many notes throughout the MS. draws largely upon the English canonists (cf. 9 E. VIII), see especially the series of quaestiones on f. 206 b headed by the name of T. Walkyngton. On f. 208 he has noted the dates of the various compilations and councils. Vellum; ff. 209. 153/4 in. x 11 in. End of XIII cent. Gatherings of 12 leaves (xii¹¹, xvii¹⁰, xviii⁷), with catchwords. Sec. fol. 'ut secundum'. Initials flourished in red and blue.
