98 SZABOLCS ANZELM SZUROMI Decretum, i.e., ID 6. 11.24 Another 12th century manuscript ofPanormia is that of Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale de France Lat. 2472,25 which again is a witness to the sacramental life of the Church. On foil. 8va-9rb can be read some supplements concerning baptism. This part is very dirty, which indicates its day - to- day usage. The BAV Vat. lat. 136026 also has some supplements from the liturgical field. These parchments, too, are very dirty and greasy.27 If we analyze the condition of the different manuscripts of the Decretum and the Panormia, we can recognize which part was used in most cases during the main activity of the owner, as we saw above concerning Bibliothèque Nationale de France Lat. 247228 and BAV Vat. lat. 1360. The Strassbourg, Bibliothèque Nationale et Univ. 108 is marked in the catalog as a 13"' century manuscript of the Panormia, but in fact it looks like a 1 l,h-12th century style.29 This codex is very worn and greasy on folios which cite canons about juridical process, witnesses and heirs.30 It seems this version was used in the ecclesiastical tribunal. Similar characteristics can be found in Edinburgh, National Library of Scotland, Adv. Ms. 18.8.6 (Panormia; 12th century) in the part about baptism; hence this copy is a witness to daily parish work.31 24Fol. 22vff; cf. Presbyterorum ordo exordium sumpsit a filiis Aaron. Qui enim sacerdotes vocabantur in Veteris Testamento, hi sunt qui nunc appellantur presbyteri. Et qui nuncupabantur principes sacerdotum, nunc episcopi nominatur. Presbyteri autem interpretantur seniores, quia seniores aetate Graeci presbyteros vocant. His enim, sicut episcopis, dispensatio mysteriorum Dei commissa est. Praesunt enim Ecclesiae Christi, et in confectione divini corporis et sanguinis consortes cum episcopis sunt. Similiter et in doctrina populorum, et in officio praedicandi. Ad solam auctoritatem summi sacerdotii clericorum ordinatio et consecratio reservata est, ne a multis disciplina Ecclesiae vindicata concordiam solveret, et scandala generaret. (...) Non ergo propter decrepitam senectutem, sed propter sapientiam presbyteri nominantur. Quod si ita est, mirum cur insipientes constituuntur.
