In the inventory of the Cistercian abbey of Pontigny at the end of the 12th century, a "Volumine uno, Decreta Gratiani" was recorded as number '153'. The same manuscript is described as "in-folio atlantico, elegans et completo" in later inventories, following the seizure of the abbey during the French Revolution.
The manuscript is extant only in fragments. Individual folios or fragments thereof are preserved in the following libraries:
C.1: Cleveland, Museum of Art, 1954 598 (olim 54 531; digital image online)
C.2: London, Victoria & Albert Museum, MS 8985 A
C.3: Free Library of Philadelphia, Lewis EM. 16: 9
C.10: London, Victoria & Albert Museum, MS 8985 E
C.14: London, Victoria & Albert Museum MS 8985 F
C.19-20: Bloomington, Indiana University Lilly Library, Rickets 205
C.22: London, Victoria & Albert Museum MS 8985 B.
C.23: Free Library of Philadelphia, Lewis EM. 16: 8.
C.24-25: Aberystwyth, National Library of Wales, MS 4874 E, no. 2.
C.26: London, Victoria & Albert Museum MS 8985 C
C.27: London, Victoria & Albert Museum MS 8985 D
C.35: Auxerre, Bibliothèque municipale, 269
Note that Nordenfalk, Review of Melnikas p. 335 mentions three fragments of this manuscript as having been "acquired by the museums in Cambridge, Cleveland and Detroit, are included in the Corpus without being recorded as coming from the same manuscript. A fourth has been given to the Art Museum of Princeton University (fig. 19)." As "Cleveland, Museum of Art, Single leave 54.598" is the only fragment in the Cleveland museum which Melnikas mentions, it seems that Nordenfalk was referring to three fragments of the Pontigny Gratian. However, it is not clear which fragments in Cambridge or Detroit he was referring to, Nordenfalk must be referring to a different manuscript than the Pontigny Gratian.
