II. Supplementary material at the end of Ivo’s collections

Until now, we have been speaking about some supplements which are included among the canonical material of several books oflvo’s works. But there is a significant group of canons at the end of the Decretum and the Panormia. These supplements can shed light on the fundamental employment field of the particular textual witnesses of the Ivonian collections. If we open the edition oflvo’s works which was put together by Jacques-Paul Migne’s team,32 we can find at the end of Book 8 of the Panormia 18 canons under the title: “Qui libri, et quo tempore sint legendi, in ecclesia”, which do not belong structurally and thematically to the collection.33 These canons are not be found in any version of the Decretum, and they are scattered through different places in the Decretum Gratiani,34 The introductory canon (IP 8. 137) does not have any attribution, but its condition supports the daily usage of this form. It is a reference — work of the most important ecclesiastical feasts in the form of a liturgical calendar. There is not any reason to take up this theme immediately before simony (IP 8.13 8),35 ex- communication (IP 8. 139, 141 )36 or the clerical obligation regarding the wearing of their distinctive dress (cf. IP 8. 140),37 supplemented with an admonition

35 IP 8. 138: Statuimus ut si quis Simoniace ordinatus ab officio omnino cadat, quod illicite usurpavit; vel si quis praebendam, vel prioratum, vel diaconatum, aut honorem, vel promotionem aliquam ecclesiasticam, utpote chrisma, id est oleum sanctum consecrationem altarium vel ecclesiarum interveniente exsecrabili ardore avaritiae per pecuniam acquisivit, honore male acquisito careat; et emptor atque venditor et interventor nota infamiae percellantur, et nec pro pastu nec sub obtentu alicuius consuetudinis ante vel post a quoquam aliquid exigatur, vel ipse dare praesumat, quoniam Simoniacum est, sed lebere et absque imminutione aliqua collecta sibi dignitate perfruatur. PL 160. 1340; cf. Friedberg I. 418.

36 IP 8. 139: A suis episcopis excommunicates ab aliis suscipi omnino prohibemus. Qui autem excommunicato, antequam ab eo qui eum excommunicaverit, absolvatur, communicare praesumpserit, pari sententia teneatur obnoxius. PL 161. 1340; IP 8. 141: Illud autem quod in Chalcedonensi sacro constitutum est concilio, irrefragabiliter conservari praecipimus, ut videlicet decedentium bona episcoporum a nullo omnino hominum diripiantur, sed ad opus Ecclesiae et successoris sui in libera oeconomi vel clericorum remaneant potestate. Cesset igitur illa detestabilis et saeva rapacitas. Si quis autem hoc attentare praesumpserit, excommunicationi subiaceat. PL 161. 1341; cf. Friedberg I. 702.

37 IP 8. 140: Praecipimus etiam quod tam episcopi quam clerici in statuta mentis et in corporis habitu Deo et hominibus placere studeant, et neque in superfluitate, scissura, aut colore vestium, neque in tonsura, inuentium, quorum forma et exemplum esse debent,
