{{author|von Schulte}} in 1868 described a thirteenth-century canon law manuscript that was part of the Lobkowicz collection in Prague; the shelfmark was ‘Num. 496’ according to Schulte. 

The Lobkowicz collection in 1941 was confiscated by the Germans and deposited in the university library at Prague which in turn became the national library of the Czech Republic (Národní knihovna Ceské republiky). The books became state property under communist rule. In the 1990s the collection was returned to the Lobkowicz family, but as of 1998 the medieval manuscripts were still preserved in the national library as a separate collection (Prazská Lobkowiczká knihovna). Today, the Lobkowicz Collection is partly preserved in Prague, partly in Nelahozeves Castle.

According to {{author|von Schulte}} , the manuscript contained two collection. The first, on fol. 1r-85v mainly drew on patristic writing; Schulte described it as a rather raw collection perhaps made in preparation of another one. The second collection on fol. 87v-102r are excerpts (87 canons) from the ''[[Collectio Anselmo dedicata]]''. References to the Lobkowicz manuscript as a (complete) copy of the ''Anselmo dedicata'' are mistaken.
