Canonical collection compiled ca. 1210-15 by Johannes Galensis. Relatively little-studied, its contents contained texts prior to Innocent III's pontificate which were otherwise missing from Gratian's Decretum or the Breviarium extravagantium. Despite being chronologically the second of the quinque compilationes, including letters of Celestine III missing in the Breviarium, it was compiled after the Compilatio tertia.
