1209

convened by Legates Milo and Hugues, Bishop of Riez and Apostolic Legate (from 1208-1213); convened prelates included AB Vienne, Arles, Embrun, Aix, and bishops of dioceses surrounding Toulouse in the province of Narbonne

1209

According to edition, these were reissued 1236 by Bp Wilbrand van Oldenburg, but he died in 1233.

Joosting, Bronnen, V, 48-53

According to Pixton (German Episcopacy, 84-85), these are similar to those issued for Cologne and Liege that same year; but I have yet to find such statutes.

1211

for brief discussion of dating, see Maccarrone, Cura animarum, 277, n22; Franceschini, Storia di Milano, IV, pp166-69 dates it (surely incorrectly) to 1212

AB was papal legate; whether he was actually AB of Milan is somewhat shaky

Gerardo da Sesso

Olivieri, Costituzioni di Gerardo da Sesso

-issued for clergy of dioceses elsewhere in Lombardy/environs (whose bishops were summoned by Gerard in his capacity as papal legate)
-influenced by his earlier statutes for Novara

1213

month uncertain; for date, see Dickson, "Le cardinal Robert de Courcon" AHDLMA 9, 1934, pp90-91

Seems to be directed to entire province, but scope is unclear (and there is no extant roster of participants)

Robert de Courcon

1214

Probably held in February-March; see Dickson, Vie du Cardinal Robert de Courson, 96

No extant roster of participants

Text bound together with Gregory the Great's Moralia in Job and the Lateran IV decrees

CoSyn transcription largely from Pixton edition, with preface & cc. 16 & 17 transcribed directly from MS

see Mierau, Vita Communis und Pfarrseelsorge; Pixton, Watchmen, 227-31; Johanek, Synodalia, I.51-52, 89

Bp had briefly studied in Bologna, though he showed greater preference for Roman than canon law (Pixton, Watchmen, 215, citing Reg. Inn., I, ed. Hageneder, 209ff, nr. 144)

1216

1217

was originally to be held at Cologne

Conrad had legatine authority over Mainz, Cologne, Trier, Bremen, and Magdeburg

Hartzheim, Concilia III, 520-25

https://books.google.com/books?id=-d5KAAAAcAAJ

Hartzheim etc. divided it into two sessions (Concilium Germanicum and Concilium Moguntinum); in fact it was a single council that met in several sessions over the course of a week (see Pixton, Watchmen, 346; timing first established by Binterim, Concilien, IV, 465)

(64) Item, precipimus quod omnes sacerdotes et capellani habeant et teneant et observent statuta nostra synodalia, et in manu sua in omnibus synodis teneant et observent. Quod si non habuerint, persolvant X solidos ramundenses. Ista autem precipimus statuta quod bis in epdomada legant loco VII psalmorum.
