Manuscripta juridica

Glossae ad Decretum Gratiani . Only few parts of the text have glosses. Most parts have just some pencil notes (see below) and sporadic scribblings from time periods after 1250. Glosses are encountered in Dist. 53-54, and from Dist. 82 to Causa 1 q. 2 medies, and in parts of Causae 11, 12, 16, and 20. Glosses refer to the respective words of the main text by means of signs in red ink, formed from dashes, commas, dots and circles. Almost all glosses are text-explaining ones. No notabilia-glosses, and only very few glosses of mere cross reference (= allegationes). The latter are written with circa 2 cm indentation to the right (e.g. fol. 60r). In the 13th century this was an outmoded fashion of writing allegationes, and no longer used in Italy by that time.

Glosses also refer to decretals from Decretalium compilationes antiquae: e.g. several quotations 'ex. iii' or 'ex. i.' on fol. 59vb (Causa 1, quaestio 1). Authors of glosses are rarely mentioned. In few places, some glosses end with a siglum 'jo.' (e.g. fol. 59va-vb). These were probably selected from the original version of the Apparatus by Johannes Teutonicus (Zemeke) (second decennium of 13th century). I have collated some glosses on fol. 59v to the printed edition of that Apparatus, Parisiis 1585. The collated glosses match, but the printed edition has many more glosses to the text in question.
