Giorgio Picasso analysed the collection of 74 canons in the Ms Milan, Biblioteca Ambrosiana H. 5 inf. and entitled it Ambrosiana III. The present analysis (MK) is based on his analysis. He assumes that the collection was compiled for a canonry in northern Italy, perhaps at Bergamo or Brescia, in any case, within the ecclesiastical province of Milan. The collection has little in common with Ambrosiana I and II. It makes extensive use of the 74T. The canons following canon 68 are in a different hand and seem to have been added later. The most recent canons are associated with pope Gregory VII, including a decree of the Roman Lentan council of 1078 (JL ante 5065) and In die resurrectionis (JL ante 4828). The text of In die resurrectionis is close to that in the Collectio VII librorum of the Ms Turin, BNU D. IV. 33. Folios are missing between the present folios 62 and 63.
