Royal MS 11 D II

1. GRATIAN'S Decretum, with the marginal apparatus of Bartholomaeus Brixiensis (cf. 9 C. III, 10 D. VIII, 10 E. II). The text appears to contain about the same number of paleae, though not always the same selection, as 10 D. VIII. At the beginning (ff. 1-8) is inserted, on smaller vellum and in a later hand (15th cent.), an index of initia to the canons, arranged in the alphabetical order of the vowels (i.e. from A.A.A. Anastasius to U.U.U. Utrum sub figura). f. 9.

2. Commentary to the Decretum, consisting apparently in the main of what are called 'Casus'. It is not the work of Bartholomaeus, and does not seem to have been used by Archidiaconus in his 'divisiones'. Beg. 'Prima primi uxor Ade post primam . . . traxerunt (see Walter Map's satire on women). Propter hanc inobedienciam'. Incompletc, C. i being wanting; and also does not include the tracts De poenitentia and De consecratione. There are few citations of other writers, but among them are Gan[dulphus], Ruf[inus], Io[hannes Teutonicus?], and Bar[tholomacus ?]. f. 321. Vellum; ff. 332. 161/2 in x 103/4 in. XIII cent. Gatherings of 10 leaves (i⁸, xxiv¹², xxxii¹²), numbered at the end. Sec.fol. in text 'probatum non est'. Initials flourished in red and blue. Two notes of prices (f. 332 b), viz. 'prec.vi marc.' and 'pretium cent. sol.' Old Royal press-mark Ino. 2136' (Westm. invent. of 1542, Add. MS. 25469, f. 8); cat. of 1666, f. 9, 9 b, or 10; CMA. 8373 or 8386.
