This is the second of four canonical collections found in Milano, Biblioteca Ambrosiana, A. 46 inf., a miscellany manuscript of the ninth century. The collection itself (MF), divided into two books, is found on fol. 86r–130v; parts of the first book are missing because of a missing quire between fols. 88 and 89. An (incomplete) capitulatio is found on fol. 3v–6r; on fol. 3r–3v there are the rubrics of the excerpts from the Enchiridion of St. Augustine in the first book, fol. 3v-6r contains the rubrics for the other canons in that collection, which are entitled: ex opusculis et institutis catholicorum patrum breviter excerpta. [67]
The collection deals with vices and penance and with monastic life and virgins. The collection contains texts from the Enchiridion of Augustine, extracts from the Dacheriana including its preface and extracts from the Quadripartitus, especially from book four.
