Compilatio prima, 1190/91. There are over 140 manuscripts containing all or part of Compilatio prima still in existence. G. Fransen did extensive study on the development of Bernardus’s decretal collection, although he only published a portion of his results. He argued that this work passed through several phases of development, though it is not clear that Bernardus was responsible for each phase. Acording to Fransen, the manuscripts of Compilatio prima may be divided into three main groups and a few intermediate versions. The first group is the oldest version and designated Σ by Fransen; it omits 26 of the 912 chapters which Friedberg presents in his edition. The second, or French, group is also called group Φ by Fransen; some chapters omitted in group Σ have been added. This may have happenned in two or perhaps more stages: 1. 10 chapters omitted which are also omitted in the oldest group; 2. Only 2–5 chapters omitted (manuscripts vary on 1.12.2 and 4.4.4-5); Fransen believes this subgroup had a single common ancestor. In total this group contains 38 manuscripts: 29 are French/Belgian/Swiss, 7 are German, and 2 are Austrian. The third main group presents the classic version as contained in Friedberg’s edition (designated group Λ by Fransen). 36 manuscripts: 12 French, 11 German, 7 Italian, and 6 Austrian. Fransen also identified three intermediate versions: (1) an archaic version, (2) a version close to but distinct from the French Group (or Φ), and (3) a version between that of the oldest group (Σ) and the classic group (Λ). Fransen never published a complete listing of which manuscripts fall within each group.

Compilatio prima.

Quinque compilationes antiquae, ed. E. Friedberg (Leipzig 1882; repr. Graz 1956). (In this edition, Friedberg presents only the texts of decretals which had been omitted from the Gregorian Decretals. He presented a register including incipits, explicits, and references to the Gregoriana for the remaining chapters. Thus, this edition must be used in conjunction with Friedberg’s edition of the Gregoriana: Corpus iuris canonici, vol. II (Leipzig 1879; repr. Graz 1956) 1–928. He claims to have used the following manuscripts for this edition: München, BSB, Clm 3879; Freiburg, Universitätsbibl., 361; München, BSB, Clm 6352; Fulda, Landesbibl., D.5; and Leipzig, Universitätsbibl., 983; as well as the edition of Antonio Augustín..)
