Bolded items have been more carefully edited and supplied with an apparatus fontium. Otherwise, please regard these files as lightly revised and re-punctuated transcripts from Vat. lat. 630.
As to the sources of individual pieces:
Pseudo-Isidore’s own inventions are marked with an (F). A parenthetical (H) marks those items that come from the interpolated Hispana, Pseudo-Isidore’s most important formal source. A (D) indicates those items from the Collectio Dionysio-Hadriana.
Substantive Pseudo-Isidorian interpolations to Hispana items are underlined.
First Folios
The fly leaves of Vat. lat. 630, and the first folio recto, carry texts that are not part of the False Decretals.
Prefaces
The False Decretals open with a mix of forged Pseudo-Isidorian prefatory epistles and prefatory items drawn from the Collectio Hispana and the Collectio Dionysio-Hadriana. The fifth and sixth items in the list below, that is to say the preface and the capitulatio from the Hispana, are unique to the A/B recension and were apparently included in error (see Hinschius, Decretales Pseudo-Isidorianae [Leipzig, 1863], lxiii). In their place the A1 recension provides a capitulatio tailored for Part 1 and Part 2 of the False Decretals.
