The collection is dated to the late sixth century; it is extant in only one manuscript ([[Stuttgart, WLB, HB.VI.113]]; from Rhetia). Kéry describes it as a "chronologically arranged collection of conciliar canons and decretals (only very few decretals); influenced by or even directly relying on the [[Collectio Quesnelliana]]" ({{Author|Kéry}}, Collections p. {{Kéry|42}}).

According to {{Author|Mordek}}, Spätantikes Kirchenrecht (1993), the Collectio Weingartensis is closely related to another collection preserved only in fragments, which he named the Collectio Tuberiensis. Mordek attributed the similarities between the two collections to a common source, which he designated the Versio Raetica antiqua. Based on his reconstruction, the contents of the Collectio Tuberiensis largely corresponded to the opening portion of the Collectio Weingartensis – specifically, the documents preserved in Stuttgart, WLB, HB.VI.113, fols. 1v–81r – although arranged in a somewhat different order. The only certain exception is a unidentified text fragment that follows Damasus I „Dominus inter“ (J<sup>3</sup> 586) in the Tuberiensis, but is absent from the Weingartensis. | According to {{Author|Mordek}}, Spätantikes Kirchenrecht (1993), the ''Collectio Weingartensis'' is closely related to another collection preserved only in fragments, which he named the ''Collectio Tuberiensis''.

The collection is dated to the late sixth century; it is extant in only one manuscript (Stuttgart, WLB, HB.VI.113; from Rhetia). Kéry describes it as a "chronologically arranged collection of conciliar canons and decretals (only very few decretals); influenced by or even directly relying on the Collectio Quesnelliana" (Kéry, Collections p. 42). Hubert Mordek (Mordek, Bischofsliste p. 144) argued, by contrast, that the Weingartensis more likely drew upon the same source material as the Quesnelliana. The Weingartensis also exhibits connections to the Corpus canonum Africano-Romanum and, more closely still, to the Collectio Tuberiensis. The collection derives its name from the Benedictine monastery of Weingarten, which formerly housed the Codex unicus in its library.

Links to the Collectio Tuberiensis
According to Mordek, Spätantikes Kirchenrecht (1993), the Collectio Weingartensis is closely related to another collection preserved only in fragments, which he named the Collectio Tuberiensis. Mordek attributed the similarities between the two collections to a common source, which he designated the Versio Raetica antiqua. Based on his reconstruction, the contents of the Collectio Tuberiensis largely corresponded to the opening portion of the Collectio Weingartensis – specifically, the documents preserved in Stuttgart, WLB, HB.VI.113, fols. 1v–81r – although arranged in a somewhat different order. The only certain exception is a unidentified text fragment that follows Damasus I „Dominus inter“ (J3 586) in the Tuberiensis, but is absent from the Weingartensis. Whether the epitome of the canons of Serdica contained in the Weingartensis, was originally included in the Tuberiensis, cannot be determined with certainty. That the epitome was very likely part of their common source, however, is suggested by its occurrence in the Corpus canonum Africano-Romanum, where it is linked to both the unabridged canons of Serdica and the Interpretatio Isidoriana antiqua. The absence of the Tome of Damasus and Gelasius’s decretal “Necessaria rerum” (Stuttgart, WLB, HB.VI.113, fols. 82r–98v; partially misbound) in the Tuberiensis may indicate that these texts were never part of the shared source. This hypothesis is further supported by the presence of a blank page in the Stuttgart manuscript (fol. 81v), separating these texts from the rest of the collection.
Links to the Corpus canonum Africano-Romanum
The Collectio Weingartensis – and by extension, the closely related Tuberiensis – also exhibits a clear relationship to the Corpus canonum Africano-Romanum. Both collections share the synods of Nicaea, Ancyra, Neocaesarea, Gangra, Antioch, and Laodicea according to the rare Interpretatio Isidoriana (antiqua), as well as the Synod of Serdica in two versions (Epitome and Canons). While Schwartz, Kanonessammlungen (1936), p. 60 n. 1 regarded the Collectio Weingartensis as dependent on the Corpus canonum Africano-Romanum, Mordek, Ungedruckte Bischofsliste (1996), p. 143 attributed the similarities between the Weingartensis and the Corpus canonum to a common source. In comparison with the Corpus canonum Africano-Romanum, however, the text preserved in the Weingartensis (and fragmentarily in the Tuberiensis) appears closer to the archetype. The manuscripts of the Corpus canonum Africano-Romanum contain several later additions and interpolations emphasizing the primacy of the Roman see. These additions are absent from the Weingartensis.
Place and date of origin
The Weingartensis concludes with a brief note in which a cleric named Secundus left his name to posterity. According to his own statement, the note was written in Trent around the year 580. Secundus has been identified in modern scholarship as the baptizer of Adaloald, a Lombard prince, mentioned by Paulus Diaconus (Historia Langobardorum IV, 27). On this basis, Turner (EOMIA 1.2.3, p. X) dates the collection to the late sixth century. Still according to Turner, it is, however, more likely to have originated in Rome than in northern Italy. Zechiel-Eckes, following up on this, refers to a “auf das römische Ambiente des 6. Jhs. weisender Überlieferungsstrang” (see his review of Y.-M. Duval, La décrétale “Ad Gallos episcopos”, in Francia Recensio 3 [2008]). The sources on which the collection drew are, of course, considerably older, as evidenced by the fact that the anonymous compiler of the Corpus canonum Africano-Romanum, active in the fifth century, also made use of them.
