The Collectio Augustana is a small, systematic collection of the early twelfth century (terminus post quem 1106; earliest manuscript ca. 1140); Zechiel-Eckes describes it as a manual for the Sendgericht. It contains 64 canons plus a catalogue of 183 questions for the Sendgericht. Most of these texts are taken from Burchard and Regino. The most recent text is from a council of Paschal II in 1106.

It is extant in three manuscripts: München, BSB, Clm 3909, fol. 24r-42fv, Klosterneuburg, Stiftsbibliothek, Cod. 638, fol. 191r-198v and München, BSB, Clm 9661, fol. 53r-60v
