ABSTRACT
Roger Reynolds' statement is once again confirmed by part II of a manuscript now found in Paris at the Bibliothèque de 1'Arsenal, MS 721. It is composed of two distinct manuscripts: the Margarita Martiniana of Martin of Troppau and an anonymous twelfth-century canonical collection, covering fos 165r-250v, followed by three blank folios, 251-3. The canonical Collection of St Victor is written in two columns in several, closely related hands datable to the second quarter of the twelfth century. Nonetheless, the invocation leaves no doubt that these liturgical ordines were copied as part of the collection as is typical for canonical collections originating in houses of canons, especially in the second half of the eleventh century and in the twelfth century. Letter collections from the late eleventh and the twelfth century are eloquent witnesses to the connections between scholar-churchmen throughout Europe.
