ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on Codex Tarragona 26, a manuscript of the first recension of the Liber or Collectio Tarraconensis, and one of the Poitevin collections. This collection in seven books, consisting basically of an expanded revision of the Collection in seventy-four titles in a seemingly random, unsystematic arrangement, is representative of a Gregorian ‘friendship network’, but based on texts typical of the Poitevin canonical collections rather than on letters, as in the circle of Bernold of Constance examined by Robinson. The ties of Raimund Dalmacii to Saint-Ruf were part and parcel of the reform and the rather short-lived establishment of the bishopric of Roda. He adopted its customs at his see. The influence and expansion of Saint-Ruf clearly owed a great deal to the strong support of Hugh of Die. Even more weight should be given, however, to the support of Gregory VII, though it is more difficult to trace his influence than that of his legate Hugh.
