Ivo of Chartres was one of the most learned scholars of his time, a powerful bishop and a major figure in the so-called ‘Investiture Contest’. Christof Rolker here offers a major new study of Ivo, his works and the role he played in the intellectual, religious and political culture of medieval Europe around AD 1100. Comparing Ivo’s extensive correspondence to the contemporary canon law collections attributed to him, Dr Rolker provides a new interpretation of their authorship.
Contrary to current assumptions, he reveals that Ivo did not compile the Panormia, showing that its compiler worked in a distinctly different mental framework from Ivo. These findings call for a reassessment of the relationship between Church reform and scholasticism and shed new light on Ivo as both a scholar and bishop. Christof Rolker is Research Fellow of the Kulturwissenschaftliches Kolleg Konstanz.
Note on the citation of manuscripts In this book, a relatively large number of manuscripts are discussed or referred to, and for the sake of brevity sigla have been employed to refer to those mentioned most frequently. For the manuscripts of Ivo’s Decretum and the Tripartita, the sigla are those used by Martin Brett in his edition. In my PhD thesis I developed a similar scheme to refer to manuscripts containing Ivo’s letter collection; these were assigned twoletter sigla, the first letter being derived from the place where the manuscript is kept today, the second being a running counter.
For example, the five manuscripts at Alençon, Antwerp, Auxerre and Avranches have been given the sigla Aa to Ae, and the very numerous manuscripts in the Paris libraries are labelled Pa to Ql; a complete list can be found on the Ivo homepage (http://project.knowledgeforge.net/ivo). Where manuscripts are discussed in detail in the present book, the shelf mark is given at the beginning of the respective passage, but subsequent references are by sigla only. All manuscripts referred to in this way are listed in the Manuscript index with short titles and their sigla, and can be looked up there.
