Abstract
Abstract A dossier of texts from the time of bishop Anselm II of Lucca. The article analyses an appendix of texts at the end of three manuscripts of the collectio canonum ascribed to Anselm of Lucca. The texts, in their majority contemporaneous, are concerned mainly with simony and might have been intended to supplement the 6th book (about bishopsʼ rights) of that collection. The texts are of interest as they prove their compilerʼs relations to Bernold of Constance and to Milan, the town, where Anselm and his uncle, pope Alexander II, came from. Two texts of Alexander II, a long letter adressed to the clergy and people of Lucca and a canon of dubious authenticity about simoniac consecrations of churches, can in fact be traced back to Milan manuscripts and allow us a glimpse into the local debates of the 1060s.
