Walter Cantilupe’s Summula on confession for the diocese of Exeter (1240, and later reissued by Peter Quinel) has a section on sins reserved for absolution by bishops with the caveat that some must be sent to the pope. It's a pretty standard list. It’s in Powicke and Cheney’s Councils and Synods, pp. 1060-1077, section. 32. I can send you my trans. from my Pastors and the Care of Souls if you like. There are others, but off the top of my head I’m drawing a blank. I'll ponder.
Best,
John

Could you provide references for any of those pastoral manuals?

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and cultureMeg,
There is some material on this in:
E. Vodola, Excommunication in the Middle Ages (Cambridge, 1986).
Some absolutions devolved eventually to the Apostolic Penitentiary:
K. Salonen & L. Schmugge, A Sip from the Well of Grace (Washington, DC, 2009).
There are lists of Reserved Cases, including those reserved to the pope, attached to some pastoral manuals.
Tom
