Koblenz, Landeshauptarchiv, 701, no. 759,35 are three single leaves of a twelfth-century copy of Ivo's Decretum in long lines of which a fourth survives in Nassau, Archiv der Freiherren vom Stein, sine numero. The latter has the siglum Ka in Brett's edition, while the three Koblenz leaves are Kb, Kc, and Kd; the manuscript behind them is K.

Ka has Decretum 1.78-80 and 92-94, Kb has Decretum 2.129-143, and the first six entries for a capitulatio to book three; Kc has 3.169-180, Kd 3.188-199. The manuscript omits all rubrics, and is distinctive both for its fragmentary capitulatio, otherwise now only attested by Molinaeus' edition (= M), and for a set of rubricated canon numbers in the margins, equally absent in the other manuscripts, and close to those of M’s capitulatio, though not identical. The readings in general resemble those of M or D. Given the mixed origins of M it is conceivable that K represents a close relative of the Cologne copy known to Molinaeus, though scarcely that book itself

For the sigla of Brett's edition, see the list in the article on Ivo's Decretum.
