title: Paenitentiale Theodori

abstract: The Paenitentiale Theodori is an early medieval penitential handbook based on the judgements of Archbishop Theodore of Canterbury. It exists in multiple versions, the fullest and historically most important of which is the U or Discipulus Umbrensium version, composed (probably) in Northumbria within approximately a decade or two after Theodore's death. Other early though far less popular versions are those known today as the Capitula Dacheriana, the Canones Gregorii, the Canones Basilienses, and the Canones Cottoniani, all of which were compiled before the Paenitentiale Umbrense probably in either Ireland and/or England during or shortly after Theodore's lifetime.

# Paenitentiale Theodori

The ***Paenitentiale Theodori*** (also known as the *Iudicia Theodori* or *Canones Theodori*) is an early medieval penitential handbook based on the judgements of Archbishop Theodore of Canterbury. It exists in multiple versions, the fullest and historically most important of which is the *U* or *Discipulus Umbrensium* version (hereafter the ***Paenitentiale Umbrense***), composed (probably) in Northumbria within approximately a decade or two after Theodore's death. Other early though far less popular versions are those known today as the ***Capitula Dacheriana***, the ***Canones Gregorii***, the ***Canones Basilienses***, and the ***Canones Cottoniani***, all of which were compiled before the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* probably in either Ireland and/or England during or shortly after Theodore's lifetime.

## Background

It is generally accepted by scholars today that Theodore himself is not responsible for any of the penitential works ascribed to him. Rather, a certain associate of Theodore's named Eoda is generally regarded as the point of dissemination of certain judgements proffered by Theodore in an unofficial context and in response to questions put to him by students at his Canterbury school regarding proper ecclesiastical organization and discipline.

## Authorship and structure

### *Capitula Dacheriana*

Scholars have for some time accepted that the *Capitula Dacheriana* represents the earliest attempt to assemble together Theodorian penitential judgments. The case for the *Capitula Dacheriana* as an Irish production has been argued most effectively by Thomas Charles-Edwards, who noticed, first, that the *Capitula Dacheriana* lacks any obvious structural framework. For Charles-Edwards, this feature (or rather lack of a feature) is symptomatic of the non-Roman character of the *Capitula Dacheriana*, and thus suggests its creation outside of Theodore's immediate circle, and perhaps even outside of the Rome-oriented Anglo-Saxon church. Whether or not this is true, there are other, strong signs that the *Capitula Dacheriana* was produced in ecclesiastical circles that had rather less connection to Theodore's Canterbury than with Irish and Celtic centres. Specifically, the *Capitula Dacheriana* has both textual and literary connections with eighth-century Irish and/or Breton canonical activities.

The *Capitula Dacheriana* is witnessed today by two tenth-century manuscripts produced in Brittany. Ludwig Bieler has shown that the copyists of both manuscripts derived their text of the *Capitula Dacheriana* from the same eighth-century collection of Irish materials that was still resident in Brittany in the tenth century — a collection that also included (or was at least closely associated with) the *Collectio canonum Hibernensis*. The A-recension of the *Collectio canonum Hibernensis*, believed to have been compiled before 725, is the earliest work known to have drawn on the *Paenitentiale Theodori* tradition, relying on none other than the *Capitula Dacheriana* version. From this it appears that the *Capitula Dacheriana* was assembled perhaps as early as a decade after Theodore's death (in 690), and certainly no later than the first quarter of the eighth century. It was very possibly compiled in Ireland (though possibly instead in an Anglo-Irish or Breton milieux), and was used shortly after its creation as a source for the *Collectio canonum Hibernensis*, which would itself (even very soon after its creation) go on to influence powerfully the developing canon law and penitential traditions in Francia.

### *Canones Gregorii*

### *Canones Basilienses*

### *Canones Cottoniani*

### *Paenitentiale Umbrense*

The *Paenitentiale Umbrense* is a selection of canons from the earlier *Capitula Dacheriana*, *Canones Gregorii*, *Canones Cottoniani* and *Canones Basilienses*, along with additional Theodorian judgments that were obtained by a mysterious figure named Eoda Christianus. As we learn in the preface to the *Paenitentiale Umbrense*, these latter judgments were proffered by the Archbishop in answer to questions raised by rulings found in a certain "Irish document" (*libellus Scottorum*), a work that is commonly believed to be the *Paenitentiale Cummeani*. All of this material has been arranged by the author of the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* according to topic, with occasional commentary and additional rulings added in by the author of the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* himself. The *Paenitentiale Umbrense* is thus far more organized than its predecessors, and — owing to its contents derived from Eoda and the *libellus Scottorum* — also includes more content that is strictly "penitential" in nature.

The identity of the author is controversial. In the prologue (or rather dedicatory letter) to the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* the author identifies himself as a *discipulus Umbrensium*, "a student of the \[North\]umbrians". Whether this identifies the authors nationality, or merely his academic affiliation, is unclear, and several interpretations of its meaning have been advanced. Felix Liebermann believed that the *discipulus* was an Irish disciple of Theodore, while Paul Finsterwalder argued that the *discipulus* was a man, Irish-born though trained in Anglo-Saxon schools, who worked on the Continent, probably within the context of Willibrord's Continental mission. A year after they were published Finsterwalder's conclusions were roundly rejected by Wilhelm Levison, who argued that the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* was the work of an Anglo-Saxon working in England. Scholars since have generally sided with Levison in viewing the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* as the product of Anglo-Saxon England, and more specifically of a student working in Northumbria.

The *Paenitentiale Umbrense* survives in two forms: a *Full Form* and a *Half Form*. The *Full Form* is clearly the more original work, the *Half Form* being simply the last fourteen topics or chapters or the *Full Form*. The *Full Form* itself survives in slightly different versions. In the earliest of these the work is divided into twenty-nine chapters (though the *Fulda Recension* \[discussed below\] divides the work slightly differently and into twenty-eight chapters). These are:

A later version of the *Full Form* has these twenty-nine chapters divided into two books, with chapters 1–15 comprising the first book and chapters 16–29 (renumbered as cc. 1–14) comprising the second. Up until recently, scholars had assumed that the two-book version of the *Full Form* was the original version of the *Paenitentiale Umbrense*. Accordingly all previous editors (Wasserschleben, Haddan–Stubbs and Finsterwalder) have printed the two-book version, and all previous scholarship has been predicated on the assumption that the author of the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* created a work divided into two books. Several scholars even claim to have detected a generic division between the two books, noting that many of the subjects covered in the first book (drunkenness, fornication, pagan practices, etc.) are those typically associated with the penitential genre, while many of the subjects in the second book (church administration, ordination, baptism) are those typically dealt with in canon law collections. It has been supposed that this is because the author of the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* wished to divide the chapters of his source material (i.e. the *Capitula Dacheriana* and the *Canones Greogrii*) into those of a penitential nature (= Book I) and those of a canonical nature (= Book II). However, it now seems more likely that the more noticeably penitential nature of the first fifteen chapters is due not to the author's specific desire to front-load his work with exclusively penitential material, but rather to his decision to incorporate into pre-existing collections of Theodorian canons (= the *Capitula Dacheriana* and the *Canones Greogrii*) the newly acquired canons obtained from Eoda. As described above, the material that the *discipulus* had managed to obtain (probably indirectly) from Eoda was based largely on Theodore's responses to rulings found in the *Paenitentiale Cummeani*. All such material from the *Paenitentiale Cummeani* is indeed found in chapters 2–14 (~ Book I) of the *Paenitentiale Umbrense*. The highly "penitential" nature of chapters 2–14 is therefore merely an accident of the *discipulus*’s decision to treat first those subjects touched on by his Eoda/*Paenitentiale Cummeani* material, namely the traditionally "penitential" subjects of fornication, theft, manslaughter and marriage. Beyond this there was apparently no attempt on the part of the *discipulus* to treat "penitential" subjects in the first fifteen chapters and "canonical" ones in the last fourteen. Indeed, the last fifteen chapters (= Book II) treats several subjects aligned strongly with the "penitential" genre, for example food avoidance, marital relations and mental illness, while Book I contains chapters dealing with subjects more commonly associated with canon law collections, namely baptism, heresy, and ordination. Neither do the sources used by the author of the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* give any indication of a generic division between its first and second halves, for a great many canonical sources (i.e. papal decretals and ancient eastern conciliar canons) are drawn upon in the first half.

It now seems that in its original form the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* was a twenty-nine chapter work and that the two-book version was a later development. The earliest manuscripts — which also happen to transmit the oldest textual variants — witness to a work divided into twenty-nine chapters, while it is only two later manuscripts — which also contain patently more recent textual variants — in which the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* appears as a work divided into two books. It is also now clear that the passage from the prologue commonly used to defend to idea that the work was originally divided into two works has been misinterpreted. The prologue runs as follows, with the relevant portion in **bold**:

> A student in Northumbria, humbly, to all catholics in England, particularly to the doctors of souls: salutary redemption in Christ the lord. First of all, I have, dear \[brothers\], held it a worthy enough thing to lay bare to your Love’s blessedness whence I have gathered the poultices of this medicine which follows, lest (as often happens) through copyists’ decrepitude or carelessness that law \[*lex*\] should be left hideously confused which God once, in a figurative way, handed down through his first legislator and ultimately to the Fathers \[*de secundo patribus*\] in order that they might make it known to their sons, so that the following generation might learn \[of it\], namely penance, which the lord Jesus, after being baptized, proclaimed to us, having \[as yet\] no medicine, as above all the substance \[*prae omnibus ... instrumentum*\] of his teaching, saying, 'Do you all penance', etc.; who for the increase of your felicity deigned to guide — from the blessed seat of him \[*eius*, i.e. Peter\] to whom it is said 'Whichever things you set free upon the land will be set free also in the heavens' — him \[*eum*, i.e. Theodore\] by whom this most helpful salve for wounds would be concocted \[*temperetur*\]. 'For I', the apostle says, 'have received from the lord'; and I say, dear \[brothers\]: with the lord's favour I have received from you even that which I have given to you. Accordingly, the greater part of these \[remedies\] Eoda the priest, of blessed memory, known to some as 'Christianus', is said (by trustworthy report) to have received under instruction from the venerable master \[*antestite*\] Theodore. And these are buttressed \[*In istorum quoque adminiculum est*\] by what divine grace likewise delivered to our unworthy hands, \[namely\] things which the aforementioned man came to learn from a widely known Irish booklet, concerning which the elder \[*senex*\] is said to have given this opinion: \[that\] an ecclesiastic \[*ecclesiasticus homo*\] was the author of that book. Many others also, not only men but also women, enkindled by him with an inextinguishable passion for these \[remedies\], in order to slake their thirst hurried with burning desire to crowd round a person of undoubtedly singular knowledge in our age. **Whence there has been found among diverse persons that diverse and confused digest of those rules, composed together with established causes of the second book** \[*Unde et illa diversa confusaque degestio regularum illarum constitutis causis libri secundi conscripta inventa est apud diversos*\]. On account of which, brothers, through him who was crucified and who by the shedding of his blood confirmed what mighty things he had preached while living, I beg your Love's \[*pacis*\] most obliging kindness that, if I have herein perpetrated any misdeed of rashness or negligence, in consideration of the utility of this \[work\] you defend me before him with the merit of your intercessory prayer. I call upon as witness him, the maker of all things, that in so far as I know myself these things \[I\] have done for the sake of the kingdom about which he preached. And, as I truly fear, if I do something beyond my talents, yet may the good intentions \[*benevolentia*\] of so necessary a work \[as this\] seek from him pardon for my crimes, with you as \[my\] advocates — for all of whom equally and without jealousy I labor, insofar as I am able. And from all of those things I have been able to select \[*invenire*\] the more useful \[topics\] and compile them together, placing titles before each. For I trust that these things will draw the attention of those of good soul \[*bono animo*\], concerning whom it is said ‘Peace upon the land to people of good will'.

The context makes it obvious that the *libri secundi* highlighted in bold above refers to nothing other than the *Scottorum libellus* mentioned several times previously. There is thus no need to suppose, and no evidence to support, that the *discipulus* composed his work in two books.

The two-book version most likely arose under the influence of the canon law collection known as the *Collectio canonum vetus Gallica*. As mentioned above, the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* survives in a *Full Form*, and in a *Half Form*. So far as can be determined, the *Half Form* first arose in Corbie between 725 and 750, when the *Vetus Gallica* collection was undergoing revision and expansion. Those responsible for revising the *Vetus Gallica* had not long before acquired a copy of the *Paenitentiale Umbrense*, which they decided to include in their revised collection. For whatever reason, the Corbie revisers were interested only in the final fourteen canons of the *Paenitentiale Umbrense*, and it was these canons alone that they included in the appendix to the Corbie redaction of the *Vetus Gallica*. Thus began the tradition of the *Half Form* version of the *Paenitentiale Umbrense*. The Corbie redaction of the *Vetus Gallica* was very successful and very soon after its creation it was enjoying wide circulation in France, Germany, Bavaria and northern Italy. As a result, far more copies of the *Half Form* version of the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* were read and copied — either as part of the *Vetus Gallica* appendix or as part of derivative canon law collections — than ever were of the stand-alone or *Full Form* version. The two-book version of the *Full Form* probably only developed after the *Half Form* had achieved popularity, that is in the second half of the eighth century or first half of the ninth. Since by then most who knew the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* knew it only in its *Half Form* version, someone who happened upon the *Full Form* (which still circulated, though much less widely than the *Half*) would likely come to believe that that had found a fuller version of the *Paenitentiale Umbrense*. And of course they would be right. However, so used would they be to viewing the last fourteen chapters as a discrete unit that they would insist on dividing the newly (re)discovered *Full Form* into two books, with the first fifteen chapters comprising a welcome new (or seemingly new) addition to the Theodorian corpus, and the last fourteen chapters comprising the already familiar *Half Form*. They would perhaps also have been helped along in their decision to introduce such division by the mention of a *libri secuundi* in the newly (re)discovered prologue. Future copies of the now-divided *Full Form* would preserve the two-book format. Centuries later, similar assumptions would be made by nineteenth- and twentieth-century editors, who come to accept as original the two-book format over the twenty-nine chapter format. In 1851 Hermann Wasserschleben would be convinced by the large number of manuscripts containing the *Half Form* of the *Paenitentiale Umbrense*, as well as by a single seventeenth century apograph of MS **Cb4** exhibiting the two-book format, that the work must have originally been composed with two distinct parts; he was therefore persuaded to ignore the evidence of his two earliest manuscripts (**W7** and **W9**) and print the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* with a two-book format. Subsequent editors would base their editions both on the two-book text as established by Wasserschleben and on those manuscripts that were closest or that seemed most ancient to them: these were (for Finsterwalder) MS **V5** and (for Haddan–Stubbs) MS **Cb4**, both of which happen to present the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* in two books. The textual tradition of the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* has not been studied closely since the work of Finsterwalder, and so the evidence (or rather the lack thereof) for their assumptions about priority of the two-book format have gone unexamined.

Some copies of the *Full Form* contain a prologue, while others lack the prologue but contain an epilogue instead. No extant copy contains both the prologue and epilogue, a fact that led Finsterwalder to conclude that the epilogue was not original, but was only a later addition intended to replace the prologue. Wilhelm Levison countered this argument by demonstrating that the prologue and epilogue share remarkably similar style, and therefore must have been composed by the same individual. He also pointed out that the prologue is clearly an original part of the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* because c. 7.5 of the text refers to it directly; and there is also an oblique yet obvious reference to the prologue in the first sentence of the epilogue. The presence of the prologue and epilogue in some witnesses and not in others can be explained without resorting to hypotheses about different authorship or about the priority of one and the posteriority of the other. Of the six witnesses to the *Full Form* (**Cb4**, **V5**, **V6**, **W7**, **W9**, **Wz2**), all have the prologue except **W9** and **V6**. **V6** is fragmentary and preserves no part of the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* except the epilogue from *eruditis illa* onwards, while **W9** (as Levison suggested) probably once contained the prologue on a folio (now lost) between fols 1v and 2r (i.e. between the *capitulatio* and beginning of the text) and this folio has since been cut away. (The copies of the prologue in **Cb4** and **Wz2** are incomplete: **Cb4** due to the loss of a folio, **Wz2** due to abbreviation.) **W9** and **V6** are also the only two witnesses to contain the epilogue; yet, in each of the other four witnesses the absence of the epilogue can be explained. Both **Wz2** and **V5** are fragmentary at their ends, and so may have once contained the epilogue (it is impossible now to be sure either way); while both **Cb4** and **W7** have (as Levison pointed out) simply replaced the prologue with copies of the *Libellus responsionum* so as to make the latter seem like part of the former. It has recently been argued by Michael Glatthaar that because the epilogue refers disparagingly to certain heretical beliefs associated with two of Boniface's most hated opponents — Adalbert and Clemens — it is most likely a later addition by Boniface or someone in his circle. While the very strong arguments put forward by Levison for the originality of the epilogue render Glatthaar's view of the *entire* epilogue as a Bonifatian document rather unconvincing, there is no reason that Glatthaar's argument could not apply specifically to those parts of the epilogue that discuss the heretical beliefs of Adalbert and Clemens; such discussions are confined entirely to the second half of the epilogue, which in fact reads more like an epistolary dedication than an epilogue, and so may very well be a Bonifatian addition.

## Manuscripts and transmission

There are numerous extant manuscripts that contain the *Paenitentiale Theodori* or parts thereof. The following tables divide the extant witnesses into *Umbrense* versions, non-*Umbrense* versions, and excerpts. *Umbrense* versions are further divided into *Full Form* and *Half Form*. The sigla given below are based on those established by the Körntgen–Kottje Editionsprojekt for the *Corpus Christianorum, Series Latina*, vol. 156, a project whose goal is to produce scholarly editions for all major early medieval penitentials; sigla in parentheses are those used by Paul W. Finsterwalder in his 1929 edition.

### Excerpts

Note that reports of the presence of *Paenitentiale Umbrense* and/or *Canones Gregorii* excerpts in the tenth-century *Collectio 77 capitulorum* as found in Heiligenkreuz, Stiftsbibliothek, MS 217 and Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Clm 3853 are in error. What such reports are actually referring to is the penitential known as the *Capitula iudiciorum* (previously known as the *Poenitentiale XXXV capitulorum*).

Finsterwalder further divided the witnesses of the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* into two classes ...

Of the earliest manuscript witnesses, namely those dating to the end of the eighth or beginning of the ninth centuries, none originate in England, the supposed place of origin of the *Paenitentiale Theodori*; this is not unusual, however, since many early Insular texts survive today exclusively in Continental witnesses. The majority of extant manuscripts of the *Paenitentiale Theodori* originate in either Burgundy, northeastern France, and the region of the Rhine and Main rivers. This is significant, as it is these areas in which the Anglo-Saxon mission, specifically that part directed by Boniface, operated in during the first half of the eighth century. The manuscript evidence may thus reflect an early transmission within the scribal centres in the area of this mission, and so may indicate Anglo-Saxon involvement in the *Paententiale Theodori'*s early dissemination throughout and/or its introduction to the Continent.

## Reception

As discussed above (*Authorship*), the *Capitula Dacheriana* was perhaps the earliest of the several versions. Based on the close connection between the *Capitula Dacheriana* and the *Collectio Hibernensis*, Charles-Edwards has argued that the *Capitula Dacheriana* were produced, perhaps in conjunction with the *Hibernensis*, in Ireland, whence the text was imported along with the *Hibernensis* to Brittany and subsequently Francia.

The most likely candidate for the introduction of the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* to the Continent is Boniface, an Anglo-Saxon missionary and a competent canonist who work tirelessly to reform the Frankish, German and Bavarian churches in the first half of the eighth century. Boniface knew the *Paenitentiale Umbrense*, for quotations of it pepper several canonical works that are attributed to him. Boniface also knew, and worked closely with, the papal document known as the *Libellus responsionum*. It is no surprise, then, that the earliest manuscript witnesses of the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* transmit this text in close proximity with the *Libellus responsionum*. It was also probably Boniface who was responsible for introducing the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* to the Corbie redaction of the *Collectio canonum vetus Gallica*, in whose creation he seems to have played some part.

The *Canones Gregorii* is quoted twice in c. 19 of Pirmin's *Scarapsus*, and on this basis Eckhard Hauswald, the most recent editor of the *Scarapsus*, was able to date this text to between 725 and 750 The *Paenitentiale Umbrense* was also used as a source for two early eighth-century Continental penitentials, namely the *Excarpsus Cummeani* and the *Capitula iudiciorum*. And several chapters from the *Half Form* were added to the text of the Corbie redaction of the *Collectio canonum vetus Gallica*, produced in the second quarter of the eighth century — this in addition to the inclusion of nearly the entire latter half (= Book II or *Half Form*) of the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* in the *Vetus Gallica* appendix. Altogether, these four works demonstrate that the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* was available for use on the Continent well before the year 750. The *Collectio Sangermanensis*, dating to the second half of the eighth century and probably also produced at Corbie, also draws on the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* ...

Towards the end of the eighth century, Paul the deacon, in his *Historia Langobardorum* c. 5.30, testified to Theodore's reputation as a promulgator of penitential canons.

It is perhaps significant that four of the five *Collectio canonum vetus Gallica* witnesses that contain an appended copy of the *Half Form* of the *Paenitentiale Umbrense***Br7**, **K1**, **P10**, **St2** — are those from Mordek's 'North French' class. Moreover, **Br7**, **K1**, **P10**, **St2** are the only copies of the *Collectio canonum vetus Gallica* to contain a series of chapters drawn from the monastic rules of Columban, Macarius, Basil and Benedict (*Collectio canonum vetus Gallica* cc. 46.26–37). These are the only chapters in the entire *Collectio canonum vetus Gallica* tradition to draw on monastic sources. The fifth *Collectio canonum vetus Gallica* witness that contains a copy of the *Half Form* of the *Paenitentiale Umbrense***St3** — is from Mordek's 'South German' class, a class that represents a tradition about as old as the 'North French' one (i.e. the 740's; both traditions stem ultimately from a mid-eighth-century Corbie redaction). However, whereas the manuscripts of the 'North French' tradition preserve more or less intact the series of mainly penitential texts appended to the *Collectio canonum vetus Gallica* (*Synodus II Patricii*, *Paenitentiale Umbrense*, etc.), most of the manuscripts of the 'South German' class have modified greatly the arrangement and constituent texts of this appended series. The 'South German' manuscript **St3** is exceptional, however. As Mordek has shown, it is not only the most faithful witness to the 'South German' *Vetus Gallica* tradition, it is also the witness with an appendix most resembling that of the 'North French' tradition. It is, for example, the only manuscript from outside the 'North French' group to contain in its appendix the *Synodus II Patricii*, the Isidorian *Epistula ad Massonam*, the canons of the council of Rome in 595 (Pope Gregory I's *Libellus synodicus*), and the *Paenitentiale Umbrense*. What might therefore have seemed like an anomaly in the tradition of the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* \+ *Collectio canonum vetus Gallica* combination — namely that an apparently distinctive feature of the 'North French' tradition (the presence of the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* in the appendix) is also shared by a single 'South German' manuscript — in fact is only evidence that the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* was part of the original series of texts appended to the Corbie redaction of the *Collectio canonum vetus Gallica* in the mid-eighth century.

According to Mordek, fols 80–195 of **P6** (which contain the *Collectio canonum Sancti Amandi*, the *Libellus responsionum*, Pope Gregory II's letter for Boniface beginning *Desiderabilem mihi*, the *Half Form* of the *Paenitentiale Umbrense*, the canons of the council of Rome in 721, and the canons of the council of Rome in 595) are likely a copy — modified with the help of a *Collectio Hispana* of either the Gallican or Pseudo-Isidorian form — of fols 128–266 of **P26**.

Although **P39** is above classified as a *Collectio canonum Sancti Amandi* witness, and although it exhibits the same *Paenitentiale Umbrense* omissions that are characteristic of all *Sancti Amandi* witnesses (namely omission of 16.1–3 and 25.5–26.9), there are nevertheless reasons *not* to associate the **P39** copy of the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* with the *Sancti Amandi* tradition. First, it has long been recognized that the contents of **P39** are very similar to those of Berlin, Staatsbibliothek Preußischer Kulturbesitz, Phill. 1741, copied in the same place and time as **P39** (ca 850×875 in Reims). However, the section of **P39** that contains the *Paenitentiale Umbrense* (fols 151–166 = Böhringer's "Teil II") is not duplicated in Phill. 1741. What is more, this section of **P39**, which is self-contained on two gatherings (gatherings 21–22), may very well have once been separate from the rest of the manuscript, for it begins with a change of scribal hand, and the text on the last page ends imperfectly (fol 166v: *Si quis metropolitanus episcopus nisi quod ad suam solummodo propriam pertinet parrochiam sine concilio*). Fols 151–166 of **P39** may therefore have originated as a stand-alone dossier of materials, and only been joined with the rest of the codex (i.e. the part of the codex with the *Sancti Amandi* excerpts) at a later time.

The palace was built (1542-1554) at the site of a prior building by Vincenzo Sampieri, who was married to Elena Fantuzzi. One of Vicenzo's sons, the Count Astorre, Abbot of Santa Lucia di Roffeno and Canon of San Pietro returned to this palace in 1593, and commissioned decorations of scenes from the Bible and Mythology (1593–1594) from Annibale, Ludovico, and Agostino Carracci. The first documentation we have for the frescoes was a speech in 1603 given after Agostino's death.

Some of the frescoes were detached and sold. The three paintings depicting *Christ and Woman of Cana* (Ludovico), *Christ and the adulteress* (Agostino) and *Christ and the Samaritan woman* (Annibale), sold to Eugene de Beauharnais, are preserved since 1811 at the Pinacoteca di Brera.

In 1849, the last descendant Sampieri, Carolina, daughter of Francis and Anna de Gregorio, wife of Denis Talon. In 1865, the noblewoman called a Tuscan "expert" to detach more frescoes: the project was quickly blocked by the authorities, but the Talon continued to try. Fortunately, the failed. The palace contains some large canvases with scenes of landscape dotted with tiny figures.

# Painted Caves

**Painted Caves** was a cave containing a spring in Val Verde County, Texas, 20 kilometers southeast of Comstock, Texas. The cave accompanied a camp site along the San Antonio-El Paso Road on Painted Cave Spring Creek (now known as California Creek) and was named for the indigenous cave paintings found inside. It was located 2.54 miles northwest of the First Crossing of Devils River and 15.73 miles southeast of California Spring. The cave is now submerged under Lake Amistad.

## History

The cave just beyond the First Crossing of Devils River was described by Robert A. Eccleston in his diary of his journey over the San Antonio-El Paso Road with the military expedition that pioneered the route in 1849:

"Wednesday, July 11. ... After passing through a rocky country for about 3 miles, we came to water in a bed of rock. ... We here visited some caves in the rocks of considerable extent, in which were found Indian drawings, &c., such as buffaloes, men. They were colored."

These paintings were made by a people called the West Texas Cave Dwellers who lived in West Texas for more than 1000 years before the Lipan Apache arrived in the area.

Thirty years later Burr G. Duval described the site in his "Journal of a Prospecting Trip to West Texas in 1879":

Friday, Jan. 9. Pulled out of Devils River, 7 a.m. doubled teams up the hill. Moved only about 8 miles and camped near a water hole on the headwaters of Painted Cave Spring Creek. Painted Cave, two miles out of Devils River, is a noted camp and cave grotto, rather, which was formerly embellished with numerous Indian picture writings, no longer to be seen, but in their place appear the mysterious characters, "S. T. 1860", "X Plantation Bitters", "Tutt's Pills", "Sozodont," etc. showing that the Star of Empire still takes its way westward and that the peripatetic advertising agent is still aboard on "Devils River."

The site was submerged by the construction of Lake Amistad in 1969.
