Well-known examples are the collection of Anselm of Lucca, the Dionysiana, and all the Burchard-derivative collections.

• The collections attributed to Dionysius Exiguus and their later derivatives are all in the Category:Collection belonging to Dionysiana group

• The collection of Anselm of Lucca (all versions, plus very similar collections) Category:Collection belonging to Anselm (all versions) group
• The Ivonian collections associated with Ivo of Chartres: Category:Collection belonging to Ivonian Collections
• Caesaraugustana Category:Collection belonging to Caesaraugustana group
• The Tarraconensis-related collections Category:Collection belonging to Tarraconensis Group
