The Codex Encyclius is a collection of episcopal letters mainly to Emperor Leo from the mid-fifth century. In the sixth century, Cassiodore had the letters collected and translated into Latin by a certain Epiphanius. Cassiodor referred to the resulting collection as "Codex Encyclius".
The collection can only be reconstructed from the later (reworked) Version in the Sangermanensis extant in Paris, BnF, lat. 12098 from Corbie and Wien, ÖNB, Cod. 397 (from Reichenau Abbey). Another copy from Beauvais, used by Baluze, is today lost.
Maassen p. 751 knew the collection only from Paris, BnF, lat. 12098 (his "Sangerm. 466"). Schwartz also knew the Vienna copy but mainly worked with the Paris copy for his edition of the acts of Chalkedon.
Patzold (https://doi.org/10.1515/zac.2010.11) has revisted the arguments of Schwartz and proposed a slightly different model how the collection travelled:
- Der codex Encyclius – entweder das Exemplar aus Vivarium selbst oder eine zeitnahe Abschrift davon – gelangte noch im späteren 6. Jahrhundert nach Rom in den Lateran. Von dort kam dieser Codex ebenso wie andere alte, als „original“ betrachtete Handschriften wohl in den Jahrzehnten um 800 in die Hofbibliothek Karls des Großen: Eine Vermittlung via Rom ist beispielsweise auch für die Dionysio-Hadriana und das Sacramentarium Gelasianum, außerdem via Monte Cassino für die Benediktsregel gesichert. Von dem alten, bei Hof bewahrten Exemplar der Collectio Sangermanensis fertigten dann um 850 Mönche aus dem Kloster Corbie eine sorgfältige Kopie an. Damals stand der Abtei jener Odo vor, der 861 auch zum Bischof von Beauvais aufstieg und den Text dorthin vermittelt haben könnte.
