A chronologically arranged collection of conciliar canons including letters sent to Boniface I and Celestine I. Its date and place of origin are under dispute; Maassen argued for Italy in the seventh century, but Ohme proposed Alexandria in the 360s. It is extant only in Verona, Biblioteca Capitolare, LX (58) (and Roma, Biblioteca Casanatense, 378 ?).

A 12th c hand corrected the text, according to Maassen p. 546 probably from the Collectio Vaticana in Vat. lat. 1342.

Maassen treats the Collectio canonum II in Paris, BnF, lat. 3858C, the Collectio Theodosii diaconi, and the Collectio Wirceburgensis as three similar collections all containing conciliar canons (plus papal letters as far as they relate to the same councils).
