This collection of 200 letters of Gregory the Great, known as "Collectio CC epistolarum", "Sammlung der 200 Briefe" or simply C is almost always transmitted together with the Collectio Pauli but, as Ewald demonstrated long ago, had a separate existence and is in fact very ancient. Ewald knew nine copies of C. He highlighted Köln, Dombibliothek, Cod. 92 as especially valuable, calling it "die vorzüglichste aller handschriften der Gregorbriefe" (p. 466). In 1986, an early ninth-century copy of C was identified in Köln, Historisches Archiv, W 29.
