114 SZABOLCS ANZlîLM SZUROMI quite usual in the textual witnesses of Ivo’s works,98 but of Anselm’s Collection too.99 100 This Pseudo-Isidorian material of the Tripartita usually shows the influence of the Collectio Britannica}00 After this very part of Ms Ashburnham 53 is situated Anselm’s Collection,101 in the place of the systematic part of Reg. lat. 973. We would like to focus on Collectio B regarding the analysed Vatican manuscript. The general opinion on this section of the Tripartita is that it is an “abbreviated fonn” of the Decretum}02 103 Comparing the contents of foil. 119ra-193ra with the structure, contents and inscription system of the Decretum and of the Panormia, it is hard to say which other Ivonian collection is the original source of this section of the Tripartita. The 29 themes which are expressivly indicated in the material of BAV Reg. lat 973 almost in the same order can be found in both of Ivo’s other works. How can it be possible to recognize which is the substantial, distinctive mark of the various contents, if the fundamental themes and canons are the same? Both manuscripts, the Ms Angers 369 and the BAV Reg. lat. 973 have the consanguinity tree, or an empty place for it. If we lay the foil. 1 r-104v of Ms Angers 369 side-by-side with foil. 119ra-193raofBAVReg. lat. 973, we can see the structural similarity and also some diversities. The begining of the Ivonian text is about the faith (De fide et sacramento fidei [Ms Angers 369, fol. 119ra: IP 1. 1]; De fide [Reg. lat. 973, fol. lr]). Following the rubrics of the systematic section of Reg. lat. 973, we can find the first five rubrics in the material of the Decretum and in the Panormia too (ID 1-4; IP 1-2). The contents of the 6th and 7th rubrics are certainly closer to the text-form of the Decretum.103 From the 8th to the 11th rubrics, the material does not show any possibility to make a distinction between the two main textual traditions. Rubrics 12 and 13 are independent confirmations of the Tripartita"s form ([XII] De sanctimonialibus;104 105 [XIII] De monachis et sanctimonialibus)'05 which did not separate in the inscription system of the Decretum and the Panormia.
