Boy is this off the mark. Let me cite myself from 3 years ago on Ansegisus
of Fontenelle:
Ansegisus compiled the Legiloquus liber-- a collection in 4
books of Carolingian capitularies (often excerpted and
abbreviated/truncated). His collection was often copied along w/the
Capitularia of the pseudonymous Benedict the Levite. The later included
material from both religious and secular fontes (sometimes derived
from A) and much material which was spurious and together w/ the Ll of
A formed the last 3 bks of a 7 book conflated collection. The conflated
compilation is from the PsI atelier and was an important and
authoritative source of pre-Gratian canon law. Numerous mss containing
it can be found all over Europe.
