CANON LAW HANDBOOK BY IVO OF CHARTRES

ever, these two peculiarities are very considerable. Based on Martin Brett’s research, it seems that the most significant difference between the material of the Ivonian Decretum and the Panormia can be found in IP Book 3.8 65 canons are missing from the Decretum if we compare it with the material of the corresponding particular book of the Panormia. This book deals with papal election, episcopal election and consecration, the presbyteral ordination, the age and quality for ordination, the office and duty of higher clergy, how it is possible to change the sees of bishops, the proper life of the clergy, and the same as compared with the religious life.9 Therefore, the Decretum could not be a canon law handbook at some cathedral. The main themes of the collection recur at various time in each of the books, and this recurring appearance cannot make the Decretum very useful or practical in day - to - day life as well. But the Panormia looks logical and systematical, and this structure could be a reason why the Panormia had a serious influence on later canonical literature.

The relation of the Decretum and the Panormia is still not so clear.10 * We do not want to get into an analysis of this relation, except to mention some examples when the two collections together had an effect on some particular Ivonian textual witness. The Ms 1817 (Bruxelles, Bibliothèque Royal) contains some significant mistakes. This manuscript of Panormia is not ‘colligatum’, but sometimes the script style, the face of the rubrics and the marginal inscriptions alter a little. The copier of this codex used the canons (order, contents) as they are in Book 12 of the Decretum. In this version IP 8. 124 follows IP 8. 82, then there are the canons from IP 8. 83-IP 8. 123." This structure was copied from ID 12. We can mention also to the BAV Vat. lat. 1362 (.Panormia),12 because its contents include some canons from the
