Oxford, Bodleian Library, Hatton 42 (Summary Catalogue no. 4117) is a composite manuscript, the main part of which was probably written in Brittany in the first half of the ninth century. The manuscript was in England in the late tenth or early eleventh century, where it was supplemented with what is today the first quire (fol. 1-7)

The manuscript consists of four codicological units: fols. 1–142 (= fols. 1-7 + fols. 8-142), fols. 142-188, and fols. 189–204. Fols. 1-7 (written in English caroline minuscle) are a replacement of the original first quire today lost.

The first part is largely filled (fol. 1r-130r) with one of only two complete manuscripts of the beta version of the Collectio Hibernensis. The second part, written perhaps in northern France, contains the Collectio Dionysio-Hadriana (not mentioned in Kéry) The third part (fols. 188v-204), perhaps from Brittany, contains Ansegis' Collectio capitularium.
