Thanks for your message. I'd also add that Martin Brett and I, as we've worked
the last 4 years on this edition, have seen more and more--or perhaps, more
honestly put--felt more and more the presence of an Ivonian circle. The
problematic Arsenal Collection is certainly one indication of this. His article
in the recently-published Festschrift for Peter Landau, along with his
contribution to the Proceedings of the Munich and Syracuse canon law congresses
are essential as well on this topic. I've done collations against Arsenal as
well, and will be glad to share them. Bruce.
