  • The Harley Collection, formed by Robert Harley (b. 1661, d. 1724), 1st Earl of Oxford and Mortimer, politician, and Edward Harley (b. 1689, d. 1741), 2nd Earl of Oxford and Mortimer, book collector and patron of the arts, inscribed as usual by their librarian, Humfrey Wanley ‘17 Maii 1715’ (f. 1*r).

LoB5: London, BL, Royal 10 B IV

London, BL, Royal 10 B IV

Date: 13th century

Contents: TREATISES on civil and canon law, with part of the Liber Variarum Formularum of Cassiodorus, in Latin.

  • 1r-9ra – The tract called Ordo Iudiciarius or Ulpianus de edendo (cf.Harley MS. 2355), written probably by an English, French, or Flemish canonist (but not in Paris) circ. 1160-1170 Without title, and only one rubric inserted.
  • 9rb-32v – Tract [by Peter of Blois, the younger, canon and chancellor of Chartres, nephew of the archdeacon of London] described in the dedication as ‘quoddam speculum iuris canonici’. Without title or author’s name, or name of the person [Guillaume de Champagne (?), Archbishop of Reims] to whom the dedication is addressed.
  • 33r-41v – A similar tract on procedure, including many decretals of popes down to Gregory VII, quotations from the civil law, &c. Beg. ‘Iudicandi formam in utroque’.
  • 42ra – Brief tract de Prescriptionibus. Beg. ‘Quoniam in hac questione’.
  • 42rb-58v – Decretals of Alexander III, including also one of Eugenius III and one ascribed to Caelestinus [I or II]. With the additions at the end it contains sixty-one letters, but one at least is repeated. The arrangement is not systematic.
  • 59ra – Another tract on procedure. Beg. ‘Iudicium est trinus personarum actus’. A similar initium is given for an Oxford MS., St. John’s Coll. clxxviii, f. 151.
  • 59rb-61v – Another collection of twenty-two decretals assigned to Alexander III, with the exception of one attributed here to ‘Urbanus papa’, but by the editors (Jaffé’s lRegesta, no. 9657) to Eugenius III. Another (ib. no. 15171) is assigned by the editors to Lucius III, but this seems doubtful. About six appear to be absent from the Regesta. Beg. ‘De illis qui infra annos’ (Jaffé, no. 13767).
  • 62r-? – ‘Decreta Lateranensis concilii’: decrees of the third Lateran Council, 1179. Artt. 5, 8, 13, and 17 of Mansis version (Concilia , xxii) are omitted, and the order is quite different both from that and other versions (cf 10 C. IV, Arundel MS. 490, Egerton MS. 28ig, and the Leipzig, Cassel, and Bamberg collections (see Schulte in Vienna Acad. Sitzungsberichte , Phil-Hist. Classe, lxiv, p. 140). Beg. ‘Licet de uitanda’.
  • ?-134v – ‘Incipit prologus Cassiodori in libro uariarum formularum’: the Variae of Magnus Aurelius Cassiodorus Senator (cf. 8 B. XIX, 8 E. IV, 10 B. XV).

Additional Details: The hypothesis of the Messinese origin of this manuscript has been kindly confirmed by Valeria De Fraja, who is currently working with Elisabetta Caldelli and Francesco Siri to the catalogue of Messina Cathedral Library. All the palaeographical information about this manuscript comes from their invaluable help. The handwritings in the codex suggest a Norman origin and they are very close to those of the manuscripts certainly copied on the island, and in particular to a group traced back to a Messinese scriptorium active in the second half of the twelfth century.
