Notitia Galliarum
council of Basel
in 1436.
The Notitia Galliarum (or Notitia provinciarum et civitatum Galliae) is a
harbour).[2]
The original list was probably drawn up during the reign of
Roman church,[3] but for the 6th rather than the 4th century.[2] It was probably at that time that the castra and portus, which had acquired bishops, were added, along with the rubric. The bishops' purpose was to prevent disputes over metropolitan authority, "lest antiquity be overturned by any eventuality".[2]
The Notitia remained an important reference point throughout the Middle Ages and is preserved in over 100 manuscripts, but often interpolated.[3]
