Johannes Andreae, 'Additiones super 5 libros decretalium' [on the five books of the Decretals of Gregory IX], by Johannes Andreae, or Giovanni d'Andrea (d. 1348), canon lawyer, of Bologna. The title and the name of the author are given in the explicit of each book, e.g. 'Explicit liber secundus additionum d[omp]ni Io. An. super dec' (f. 146r). This manuscript was written in England and owned by Christ Church, Canterbury. ff. 1r-72v. On book 1 of the Decretals. Begins: 'Gregorius. In hoc prohemio non ponitur casus summarius nec textualis ...'. ff. 73r-146r. On book 2 of the Decretals. ff. 147r-204r. On book 3 of the Decretals. ff. 204r-221v. On book 4 of the Decretals. ff. 221v-261r. On book 5 of the Decretals. Ends imperfectly: '... facienda idest de re'. The last words of book 5 now remaining are in the commentary on Si quem (V. xxxix. 59: f. 261r col. 1, last line): the outer half of f. 261 is missing and the second column on the verso, all that remains, is blank. Pecia marks in the margins of book 1 at intervals of about two leaves, the last 'fi. p. xxxiiij' at f. 70v. Books 2 and 3 begin on new quires. The scribe left blank spaces where he could not read his exemplar, e.g. ff. 143r, 217v. Damaged text on ff. 147r, 148v, 149r was neatly replaced in the 15th century. Annotations in English hands, 14th-15th century, include the words 'Loke wel boy' (f. 157r), and 'Ista in Curia regis Anglie h. non seruatur' (f. 73r), referring to the church's 'jus patronatus' (II. i. 3). Blank spaces at the ends of books 1 and 2 (ff. 72v, 146r) were filled by a contemporary hand with commentaries on 'Dudum rotamagen' eccl' (I. vi. 54) and 'Sacris' (V. xxxix. 38).
