ABSTRACT
Deusdedit's canon law book, dedicated to Pope Victor HI, survives fully in only one medieval manuscript, Vatican City, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, MS Vat. lat. 3833, which is not the compiler's original. In comparison to the anonymous Sententie diversorum patrum, or the collections of Anselm of Lucca and Ivo of Chartres, Deusdedit's work circulated and was used less widely. The comments which follow will deal with another trace of Deusdedit's collection. The comments which follow will deal with another trace of Deusdedit's collection. Copied into a late fourteenth-century manuscript from Benevento is a series of excerpts which is worthy of attention on several grounds. There is, however, no evidence that the texts common to fo 71 and to the Collectio canonum occurred in any manuscript of the Liber, although someone could have amplified a copy of that important book with both the appendix and a set of items from Deusdedit on money and property.
