ABSTRACT
The Robbins Collection has a copy of the Collectio tripartita, and the Rare Book Library of the University of Pennsylvania owns a copy of the Panormia. All of these codices were written in the twelfth century. As far as this writer is aware, no other complete or nearly complete manuscripts are known in North America of works attributed to Ivo. But that is not the whole story of the ‘fortuna’ of Ivo in America. Cockerell’s manuscripts were sold at Sotheby’s in 1957, four years before his death in 1961, and in the years that followed, until their acquisition by the University of Missouri, the Fragmenta manuscripta had at least four owners, ultimately coming to North America and into the hands of William Salloch. In recent decades the canon law collections attributed to Bishop Ivo have received renewed attention from scholars.
