ABSTRACT
Any volume dedicated to Linda Fowler-Magerl must pay special attention to the steady evolution of her original Kanones database of 1998 through to its ceremonial installation among the Hilfsmitteln of the MGH in 2005. From the very beginning of their study there was little relation between the significance of canon law collections compiled before c.1150 and the extent of detailed knowledge of any of them. One sometimes finds canons added at the end of other copies of both Decretum and Tripartita which are usually found in mid-text, but these may be merely the correction of oversights in the transcription. The canons of Pisa, reported in two copies of the Panormia, are discussed elsewhere in this volume. What are explicitly canons of II Lateran were added at the end of another Tripartita. Their nearest competitor is the Council of Reims of 1148, so far noted in one copy of the Tripartita and five of the Panormia.
