This collection of 53 letters of Gregory the Great was compiled by a certain Paulus (at Corbie), and Ewald refers to it as the "Collectio Pauli" or P for short. He knew five manuscripts containing P but no other collection of Gregory's letters, and another 14 that combine it with the Collectio CC epistolarum (see Collectio C + P. The circulation of this C+P collection north of the Alps only played an important role in establishing the non-Italian origin of 74T. For combinations with ρ, see Registrum Gregorii.
