2 The decretal Cum essent in presentia nostra occurs in the following collections: Collectio Cheltenhamensis, B. M. Egerton MS. 2819 f. 88v with an incomplete text; Coll. Wigorniensis, B.M. Royal MS. 10 A II f. 47, analysed by Lohmann, H. in Zeitschrift d. Savigny Stiftung, Kanon. Abteilung 22, LIII (1933), p. 127Google Scholar; Coll. Claustroneoburgensis, no. 206 printed with a faulty text by F. Schönsteiner in Jahrbuch des Stiftes Klosterneuburg, II (1909), p. 94. The address occurs in the Coll. Wigorniensis. The fragment Porro testes to the end has been printed by Friedberg from the Coll. Brugensis in Die Canonessammlungen von Gratian bis Bernhard von Pavia, p. 158, and is included in the Coll. Sangermanensis and the Coll. Abrincensis, both calendered by Singer, H. in his Neue Beiträge zu den Dekretalensammlungen in Sitzungsberichte der Wiener Akademie, phil. hist.
