PANNORMIA of S. IVO, Bishop of Chartres 1090-1115 (cf. 7 B. V, 10 A. VIII), with a Reims ordinal and other tracts, in Latin, viz.:-

1. 'Incipit prologus parmonie ucl pannormic Iuonis venerabilis Carnotensis episcopi, multimoda distinctione', &c. : the prologue (common to this treatise and the Decretum Ivonis), table of contents and text, ending with cap. cxxxvi of Migne's text. Preface beg. 'Exceptiones ecclesiasticarum regularum'; text, 'Credimus unum deum'. Colophon, 'Expliciunt decreta pontificum Laxus (sic) tibi sit, Christe, per quem liber explicit iste.

2. 'Incipit ordo Remensis ecclesie legendi atque cantandi per reuolutum circulum anni': proprium de tempore of the ordinal. Between S. Calixtus and All Saints is interposed De dedicatione ecclesic. Beg- 'Festiuitas s. Andree si sabbato'; ends 'et post reuertunt'. f. 68b.

3. 'De coniugio': a tract on marriage, probably compiled in the 12th cent., since the compiler cites decretals down to Urban II (1088-1099) and passages of the civil law, but does not apparently use Petrus Lombardus or Gratian. Beg. 'In primis hominibus fuit coniugium'; ends 'uota succurrerint legitima'. f. 83 b.
