Provenance

On f. 222v the beginning of the decretal of Gregory VII which is on f. 123r. Below this (xvi) T. C. C. with considerable spaces between the letters. Whether this stands for Thomas Cranmer, Cantuar. I do not know. I believe this book was at least written at Canterbury, and I rather incline to attribute it to St Augustine's, on the strength of the script. The items enumerated above (on ff. 120v-122v) occur in the undoubtedly Canterbury (Christ Church) Decreta at Trinity College B. 16. 44, which was brought by Lanfranc from Bec. I am not sure that some of the marginalia near the beginning are not in the hand of Bale.

Summary

CCCC MS 130 contains a collection of pseudo-Isidorean decretals known as the Collectio Lanfranci. It is one of two early versions of the material (the other being in Cambridge, Peterhouse MS 74) probably copied from Trinity College, Cambridge MS B.16.44 which came from Lanfranc's see of Bec in Normandy. The Corpus manuscript was generally believed to have been produced in Canterbury in the early twelfth century, but although the date is still agreed upon, the location of its production is no longer certain.
