Città del Vaticano, BAV, Vat. lat. 3827 (prov. Beauvais) contains the sole medieval copy of the Collectio Bellovacensis on fol. 1r-125r and, on fol. 126r-208v letters of Nicholas I. The letters are largely that of the Collectio in Vat. lat. 3789, but with a few omissions and additions including the earliest complete copy of the Responsa ad consulta Bulgarorum (JE 2812).

Ivo of Chartres for his Decretum seem to have worked with a very similar exemplar of the Responsa.
