Ivo Carnotensis, Decretum, abbrev. F.1 has 'De speculo Augustini / quod bonus puer' in a 15th-cent. hand, and some illegible words [4s 21d in Hebrew?] in the top outer corner. On f.1v 'Liber sancte Marie Linc", in the usual large early 13th-cent. textura, on a ruled line. Further down is a table of contents in a 15th-cent. anglicana hand which may be that of Peter Partrich (see MS 72). Above this two lines of writing have been erased. Ultra-violet light reveals 'speculum' and 'Aug', so the original text was probably a title or description of the contents. Further down again is 'D. 2. Decretor: Collectio, et Canon: Concil: Nicaen:' in the usual 17th-cent. Lincoln hand. 1. Ivo of Chartres, Decretum, modified. Ff.2-205. ‘(f.2rv table of contents) Quid in prima parte libri huius contineatur. Prima pars continet de fide et sacramento fidei . . . (Pars xvii) de fide, caritate et spe. De speculo Augustini. Quis ignorat in scripturis sanctis … Vt nullus laicus ad quemlibet gradum ecclesiasticum repente promoueatur nisi post mutatum habitum secularem diuturna conuersatione inter clericos fuerit comprobatus.' PL 161. 59-1022. The abbreviated text of Ivo is followed (f.159) by an unnumbered section of papal decrees, Sylvester - Nicholas II's Roman synod of 1059, extracted from the Collectio Lanfranci (cf. MS 161). See PUE II. i, p.74. Partes begin on a new page; ff.95v-96v, 122v blank. At the head of f.2 is 'D 2' in Garvey's hand. 2. Additions only slightly later than the main text. Ff.205v-210. F.210v blank. (a) f.205v 'Anno ab incarnatione Domini m.c.lxiii. Alexander episcopus … dilecto suo Ricardo de Anesti … ; Cum controuersia que inter te et Adelitiam ac Mabiliam filiam eius super successione Willelmi auunculi tui uertebatur … secundum uero nullum fuisse decernimus. Vale.' The hearing is committed to Hilary bishop of Chichester and I. (but must be Laurence) abbot of Westminster. PUE II. ii, no. 108; printed by L. Voss, Heinrich von Blois (Berlin, 1932), pp.167-168, no.vii(b), from this MS. (b) ff..206-207v Canons of the Council of Reims, 1148: 'Qui ab episcopis suis anathematis sentencia condempnantur … diuina celebrari officia interdicimus' (Mansi XXI, pp.713-718). (c) f.207v 'T(heodoro) Dei gratia Cantuarie archiepiscopo, tocius Anglie primati, apostolice sedis legato, H(enricus) eadem gratia Wintonie ecclesie minister salutem. Nouerit discretio uestra quod super causa que coram me agitata fuit de matrimonio inter Willelmum de Saccauilla et filiam de.Tresgod contracto… debito fine terminare.' Printed Voss, pp.166-167 and n., no.VII(a), except for the inserted Jaffé-Loewenfeld no.8274. On (a) and (c) see P.M. Barnes, 'The Anstey Case', in A Medieval Miscellany for D.M. Stenton (London, Pipe Roll Soc., 1962), pp.1-24. (d) f.208rv 6 canons, with omitted rubrics in the margin (e.g. 'ex penitenciali Bede'): '[S]i quis per ebrietatem uel uoracitatem eucharistiam euomuerit … quem piam sumere fecerit Deo gratias sed paucorum.' Incl. Ivo, Panorm. I. 154-156. F.209 blank. (e) ff. 209v-210 Peace of God and form of the oath: '[D]ecreuit sancta sinodus ut a lxx(ma) usque ad octabam pasce … super sancta euangelia iurare presumat' (Reims 1119; Mansi XXI, pp.236-237). '[D]e forma uero fidelitatis qui quisque debeat domino uel equo sic inuenitur in epistola Philiberti episcopi: [D]e forma fidelitatis aliquid scribere monitus … deprehensus fuerit perfidus et periurus'. Fulbert, Ep. 51 (ed. Behrends, pp.90-92 line 15), as in Ivo, Panorm. VIII. 122 (PL 161. 1334B-C. '[I]taque ex premissis apparet mendacium nec ex simplici sermone debet proferri… Vnde Ambrosius ait in sermone habito in dominica de Abraam: [C]auete fratres mendatium, quia omnes qui amant mendatium … et contraria huic ordini operari. Item Ieronimus: [Q]uociens uero loquimur aut in tempore oportuno … reddituri sumus rationem in die iudicii. Iuramentum uero clericus laico purgare non debet. [V]nde in Remensi concilio legitur [N]ullus ecclesiastico ordine cuiquam laico quicquam supra sacramenta … aut corrigatur aut expurgetur.' I cannot identify this council or canon. 12th century
