Düsseldorf, ULB, E1 is a ninth-century canon law miscellany. According to the ULB description, it contains a small Cresconius fragment plus the Dionysio-Hadriana. However, Kéry, p. 15 following Zechiel-Eckes counted it as a copy of the Collectio Vaticana in Vat. lat. 1342 instead of the Dionysio-Hadriana.

Bischoff dated it to second half of the ninth century and based on the probationes pennae argued that it still was in Italy saec. XI; it may be the "liber canonum" in the Essen catalogue also dated saec. XI, and certainly was in Essen in the twelfth century, where it remained until 1820.
