Abstract
Bertram (Martin), Pierre de Sampson and Bernard de Montmirat. Two french Kanonists of the XlIIth century. Peter of Samson and his pupil Bernard de Montmirat (Abbas Antiquus) have left each a Lectura on the Decretals of Gregory IX and on the Novellae of Innocent IV. These canon law texts are transmitted in at least 76 manuscripts, listed and attribued to the two authors respec¬ tively in this paper. Bernard’s Lectura presents an uniform text confor¬ ming to the printed editions of Strasbourg (1510/1 1) and Venice (1588), whereas Peter’s writings, probably not having had a final redaction, appear very inconsistent in the manuscripts. However, the recent conjecture, that both sets of writings were identical with Peter alone as author, has to be discarded.
