Why this is in the register

HOLLIS on 'Abbo Collectio canonum' returns one record: 'Correspondance, apologétique, œuvres canoniques' (Sources d'histoire médiévale 47, CNRS editions, 2023), edited and translated by Laurent Jégou and Gilette Labory (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Abbo%20Collectio%20canonum&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 1 record). The catalogue's summary states that the volume edits, translates and comments fourteen letters from London, British Library, Add. MS 10972, together with the Apologeticus, and adds the Collectio canonica from Paris, BnF lat. 2400, French with the Latin. The broader Abbo query (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Abbo%20Fleury&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 58 records) contains English studies (Dachowski's biography, 2008; Mostert, 1987; Crialesi on the Calculus, 2025) and a Latin edition of the Calculus commentary (2003), but no English translation of the canonical collection. Migne PL 139 prints it at col. 413 (https://archive.org/details/patrologiaecursu0139mign). No English translation was located.

Abbo's collection is one of the channels by which the False Decretals and the Roman canonical tradition entered the Loire schools, and it is the canonical arm of the monastic reform movement around 1000. The 2023 CNRS volume is the first proper edition and translation of it - and it is in French, so the work remains invisible in English-language work on pre-Gratian canon law.
