The Collectio Vaticana in Vat. lat. 1342 is a small canon law collection. The collection orginally may date from the sixth century (Maassen), but as Vocino and West (following MCKitterick) have pointed out, all extant copies contain canons of the 743 Roman synod, so the present form was only produced in the eighth century. Hosking, however, has argued that nonetheless the shared materials of the three manuscripts goes back to an older source; a compilation in the sixth century would very well explain why the Symmachan forgeries are included (p. 133).
According to Maassen, Geschichte p. 462 is closely related to the ‚vermehrte Hadriana‘ (aka Dionysiana adaucta). Maassen described it as one of his four Italian collections of the sixth century (the other three being the Collectio Sanblasiana, Collectio Teatina, and Collectio Justelliana).
Manuscripts
For manuscripts, see Category:Manuscript of Collectio Vaticana in Vat. lat. 1342 (number of entries: 8). Maassen, Geschichte p. 512-513 listed three copies of the collection:
- Città del Vaticano, BAV, Vat. lat. 1342 (http://digi.vatlib.it/view/MSS_Vat.lat.1342)
- "Cod. Barber. XIV. 52 (ol. 2888)" = Città del Vaticano, BAV, Barb. lat. 679
- "Cod. 82 bibl. aedil. Florent. eccl." = Firenze, Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, Edili 82
In addition, he listed three manuscripts containing only parts or excerpts of the collection:
- "Cod. Sessor. CCV." = Roma, Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, 2100 (saec. XV)
- "Cod. Bodleian. 893" = Oxford, Bodleian Library, Laud. misc. 421
- "Cod. Novar. XXX. (66)" = Novara, Archivio Storico Diocesano, XXX
Following Mordek and Zechiel-Eckes, Kéry, Collections p. 25 added one more complete copy and one more manuscript with excerpts:
- Düsseldorf, ULB, E.1 (complete; elsewhere decribed as a copy of the Dionysio-Hadriana)
- Lucca, Biblioteca Capitolare Feliniana, 125 (excerpts)
Vocino and West have pointed out that all (complete) manuscript are from Carolingian Italy and argue for a later date of compilation; they also listed another manuscript (a double codex) containing excerpts:
- "The eighth-century Collectio Vaticana, though probably compiled before Charlemagne’s conquest in 774, was evidently of considerable interest in Carolingian Italy, from which all the surviving complete manuscripts derive: Vat. lat. 1342 (s. viiiex), Barb. lat. 679 (s. viiiex–ixin) and Düsseldorf ULB E 1 (s. ixex), as well as Edili 82 (s. ixex). It is moreover likely that these manuscripts are but the remains of an originally rather more substantial transmission. Two other Carolingian canon law codices (Novara, Biblioteca Capitolare XXX (66) and Oxford, Bodleian Library, Laud. misc. 421) include the capitulatio or contents page of the Collectio Vaticana, while two ninth-century Italian manuscripts (Lucca, Biblioteca Capitolare Feliniana, MS 125 and Leipzig, Universitätsbibliothek, Hänel 8+9) contain excerpts from it."
On the latter excerpts, see Leipzig, Universitätsbibliothek, Hänel 8+9.
Hoskin, who examined all complete manuscripts except the Düsseldorf copy proposed that the Florence manuscript either dependes on Vat. lat. 1342 or both depend on a common source (p. 140).
