This collection of 54 (Ewald: 53) letters of Gregory the Great was compiled by a certain Paulus (at Corbie). Ewald dubbed it Collectio Pauli or P for short. He knew five manuscripts containing P but no other collection of Gregory's letters, and another 14 that combine it with the Collectio CC epistolarum (see Collectio C + P). The circulation of this C+P collection north of the Alps only is an important argument for the place of origin of high medieval canonical collections; Fowler-Magerl used it in establishing the non-Italian origin of 74T. For combinations of P with ρ/e, see Registrum Gregorii.
