The famous manuscript Milano, Biblioteca Ambrosiana, A. 46 inf. (saec. IX3/3 according to Bischoff; 880s according to Zechiel-Eckes; saec. IXex according to Mordek) contains a miscellany of Roman and canon law texts. It was copied at Reims (Mordek) but soon later (?) was brought to northern Italy. An entry on fol. 15r indicates that it belonged to the Benedictine monastery of San Dionigi at Milan in the 15th century. It contains four separate collections none of which appears elsewhere. On fol. 144r–150r it contains excerpts of the Collectio Anselmo dedicata (not in database).
