3. Cf. Traditio 6 (1948) 347–8 (S. Kuttner); 7 (1949–51) 284 (S. Kuttner and Rathbone E. ).
4. It omits canon 11, which is, however, in the Fontanensis, a collection of the same group; and it omits a line in canon 5, which is in the other decretal collections which have the canon. Since this was written, a hitherto unknown text of the 1175 canons has been brought to my notice by Dr. Hunt R. W. and Professor Cheney. It is in Oxford, MS Bodleian Lat. theol. d.29, fols. 76–78, added in a twelfth-century hand at the end of a collection of theological miscellanea. The text has many of the special features of the Belverensis, but includes canon 11, and is independent of Belverensis in its errors. A common parent could well be the immediate source from which the canons entered the decretal collections; but full texts of the Council of Westminster independent of the chronicler Hoveden (or the Gesta Henrici secundi, which is now taken to be a first draft of Hoveden's chronicle: cf. Stenton D. M. , English Historical Review 68 [1953] 574–82) are too rare for there to be certainty on this point. (The complete texts of the council will be analyzed in the new edition of Wilkins’ Concilia; meanwhile see Cheney C. R. , Engl. Hist. Rev. 50 [1935] 385–8.)
5. The single exception is Parisiensis I c. 7 (ed. Friedberg E. , Die Canones-Sammlungen zwischen Gratian und Bernhard von Pavia [Leipzig 1897] 53), where a continuous text of Westminster nos. 2–5 is headed ‘Alexander III Gant, concilio’ (sic MS). The meaning of this gnomic heading is not clear, but it seems likely that it is a corruption of ‘archiepiscopus Cant. in concilio’ or the like.
