In the 7th century an augmented version of the Dionysiana was compiled in northern Italy. Because the copy in Milano, Biblioteca Ambrosiana, S.33 sup. (9th century), the older of the only two surviving copies, originated at the monastery of Bobbio, the collection is called the Dionysiana Bobiensis. A number of texts were added after the completion of the augmentation itself, including canons of the Roman council of pope Zacharias in 743 and of the Roman council of pope Eugene II in 826. Characteristic of the revision are borrowings from much earlier collections. Detlev Jasper has pointed to the use of four letters of pope Celestine I which seem to come from the same source used for the Frisingensis prima. [43]
