Royal MS 11 D I

VOLVMEN, or Volumen Parvum, that part of the Corpus Iuris Civilis so named (cf. 10 D. I, 10 E. III), viz.:-

1. Institutes, with marginal gloss (apparatus of Accursius). Gloss beg. 'In nomine domini, &c. : Ex hoc nota quod Christianus'. The text is printed in Corpus Iuris Civilis, Berlin, 1889, i. For early editions of text and gloss see Hain, Repertorium, 9486-9541. f. 5.

2. Last three books of the Codex (Corpus l. C., Berlin, ii, p. 395). Apparatus, as above, beg. 'De iure fisci: Occasione criminum de quibus libro superiori'. The rubric heading is 'Explicit liber nonus, incipit liber decimus de iure fisci: Imperator Iustinianus'; but this form which occurs in some editions, does not seem to imply any transposition here. Art. 3 is apparently in an earlier hand than art. 2, and indeed the MS. has probably no other unity than that of binding. f. 73.

3. Authenticum, or collection in nine collationes of the Novellae of Justinian. The subscriptiones are wanting. Apparatus of Accursius only written for the first leaf The text is printed in G. E. Heimbach's edition, Leipzig, 1851, but Hack's account of this MS. there quoted is not entirely accurate. The following is a list of the constitutions (Heimbach's numbers) in the several collationes. Coll. i contains constt. 1-6; coll. ii, constt. 7-10, 12; Coll. iii, constt. 14-20; coll. iv, constt.

22, 23, 34-36, 41, 45; coll. v, constt. 46-48,50, 51, 53-59, 61, 62, 68, 69, 71-73; coll. vi, constt. 74-86, 88; coll. vii, constt. 89-98; coll. viii, constt. 99, 100, 102-104, 106- 112; Coll. ix, constt. 113-115, 117, 119, 120, 126-130, 132-134, 116, 105, 95 repeated, 118 (part). For early editions of the Volumen with gloss see Hain, op. cit. 9622-037. A table of tituli at f. 216 comprises Institutes, Authenticum, and Tres Libri in that order. At the end of the text (f. 215 b) are some notes from a writer on dictamen marked 'P. Lumbardus', possibly Petrus de Unzola (d. 1312). f. 137.

4. 'Libri feudorum': the 12th cent. Lombard com. pilation of imperial feudal law (Kriegel, Corpus Iuris Civilis, iii, p. 843), with the marginal apparatus of Accursius, printed in the early editions of the Volumen (see Hain, l. c.). Imperfect, ending in the constitution 'Regalie'. f. 217. On the fly-leaves (ff. 1-4) are miscellancous notes including (ff. 4 b, 4) a tract on the civil law concerning consanguinity, with illustrative trees, beg. 'Quia tractare intendimus de consanguinitate'. On f. 72 b is part (five lines only) of an elaborate acrostic on the name Fridesw-ida, beg. 'Firma Fredeswyda, fidei flos, femina fida'. Vellum; ff. 234. 161/4 in. x 101/4 in. XIII (art. 3) and XIV centt. (artt. 1, 2, early XIV).

Initials flourished in red and blue. Belonged (see f. 4) to Rochester Priory, 'Liber de claustro Roffensi collatus per mag. Thomam Bradewelle', but on f. 1 is the note' In isto uolumine continentur liber institutionum, liber codicis, per Walterum Fynchyngfelde'. The name Matheus Barby occurs on ff. 3, 70 b. Old Royal press-mark 'no. 412,' (Westm.invent of 1542, Add. MS. 25649, f. 30); probably cat. of 1666, f. 10; CMA. 8365, 8410, 8414.
