Città del Vaticano, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Vat. lat. 4961 is a direct copy of Vat. lat. 3787, the earliest witness of the Collectio Avellana. The Ballerini named the latter after the medieval home of Vat. lat. 4961, the monastery of Santa Croce di Fonte Avellana.

All modern manuscripts are copies of either Vat. lat. 3787 or Vat. lat. 4961.
