Two manuscripts were bound together to make the present Vat. lat. 4977. The first of these, on fol. 6v–23v of the present manuscript, contains canons 1–27 and 29–129 of the Diversorum patrum sententie (74T). The last of these canons is incomplete. The rest of the original manuscript is missing. According to John Gilchrist the „Liège“ version was used. In the present analysis this first part has as its key XA.
