A chronologically arranged collection of decretals based on the Liber decretalium Dionysii, the Liber pontificalis and the Symmachian Documenta, extant only in Modena, Archivio Capitolare, O.I.12. The redactor of the collection had also the rare letter JK 415 at hand that is neither included in the Liber decretalium Dionysii nor in any other of the pre-Carolingian collections. It has still to be analyzed whether the fragment of JE 1843, written at the collection's ending, is either similar to the letter's version in the Collectio Dionysiana Bobiensis or to the mainstream tradition to be found in several other canon law collections (see Maassen, Geschichte p. 304 on this topic).
