In referring to the Corpus luris Canonici the latest agreed system of abbreviations has been used: e.g. for Decretals of Gregory IX, lib. II. tit. i cap. iii, X 2.1.3; for Liber Sextus, VI“; for the Clementines, Cle. or Clem.; for the Extravagantes Communes, Extra. Comm.; for the Extravagantes Iohannis XXII, Extra Io. etc. The edition consulted was Richter and Friedburg, 1881. References to the Corpus Iuris Cir/ilis are similarly given in the customary abbreviated form: e.g. Codex of Iustinian, C. de episcopis et clericis l. 11ulli: Cod. 1.3.28. Digest of Iustinian, ff. ne quid in loco publico 1. ii. merito: D 43. 8.2.10. The edition consulted was Editio Stereotypa Sextodecima. INTRODUCTION THE MANUSCRIPT The earliest chapter act book of Salisbury Cathedral consists of 74 parchment folios, of which the first 66 are slightly irregular in size, but measure on an average 31 x 23 centimetres. The last eight folios evidently formed no part of the original collection of Acta. They measure only 27 >< 18 centimetres; the parchment is thicker, with neatly trimmed edges, and the hand in which the entries are written is distinctive. They appear, none the less, to have occupied their present position in the register from an early date. The first indication of this is the inclusion of certain of their contents in an unbound index, written on paper, and now lying loose at the end of the manuscript.‘ This was dated by Canon Christopher Wordsworth 1600-5, ‘ or not later than (say) 1610 ’. The compiler made use, for purposes of reference, of a system of pagination which runs right through the manuscript, the first folio of the last gathering being numbered f. 133 on the rect0.2 The existence in addition, however, of two medieval systems of foliation enables us to assign to a much earlier period the incorporation of the last eight folios in the register. The first series, which is entered at the top centre of each folio, runs from f. 67 to f. 74; the second, which is written in the top right-hand corner, from f. 6o (corrected from 59) to f. 66. Both continue without a break from the preceding folio. Since the hand in which they are written is not later than the fifteenth century, and may possibly be earlier, we are justified in concluding that the manuscript had assumed its present form well before the end of the Middle Ages.” The disparity between the two series calls, nevertheless, for some explanation.
