The Collectio LXXII capitulorum (SF), or Capitula sanctorum canonum according to the sole manuscript, is extant in Roma, Vallicelliana, Tomus XVIII. It uses the Herovalliana indirectly by way of the 9th-century copy in Bamberg, Staatsbibliothek, Msc.Patr.101. The material sources are few: the Canones Apostolorum, the „canon Romanorum“, excerpts from letters of popes Siricius, Innocent I, Zosimus, Leo I, Gelasius I and Gregory I, canons from Greek, African and Spanish councils, and a few patristic texts. The compiler of the Collectio IX librorum in Vat. lat. 1349, in turn, found texts from the Collectio Herovalliana in the Collectio LXXII capitulorum. Hubert Mordek has established that the wide circulation of some Herovalliana texts can be explained by their use in the Collectio IX librorum which, in turn, was used by the compiler of the widely circulating Collectio V librorum.

On the Collectio LXXII capitulorum, see Mordek, Herovalliana, pp. 235–236. Idem, Kirchenrecht und Reform, p. 135. – Kéry, Collections p. 176–177. For the use of the various contents of Vallicelliana Tomus XVIII by the compiler of the Collectio IX librorum see Fournier, Un groupe de recueils canoniques italiens, pp. 129–138 (Mélanges, pp. 247–256).
