This "chronologically arranged collection of conciliar canons" (Kéry) extant only in Würzburg, Universitätsbibliothek, M.p.th.f. 146 dates to the sixth or seventh century.
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).
The Wirceburgensis, together with the even more ancient Collectio Frisingensis I, is an important witness to the Corpus canonum Africano-Romanum which has not survived in its original form, but only in these later collections drawing on it.
