For efficiency, writings of law and canon law were often copied
using the pecia system, where a model was divided into quires and
distributed to several copyists. In the same manner, this
commentary on the decretals by ”Abbas antiquus“, only later
identified as Bernardus de Montemirato, was created in three
pieces. The sparingly decorated manuscript is written in a littera
bononiensis and was owned by the library of the Carthusian
monastery of Basel.
