An abbreviation of the capitulary collections of [[Ansegis, Collectio capitularium|Ansegi] and [[Benedictus Levita, Collectio capitularium|Benedictus Levit] was compiled in the early eleventh century in northern France. Several copies exist: Paris, BnF, lat. 3839 (11th century, France), fol. 86v–121v (fragment), Paris, BnF, lat. 3839A (late 11th century, from Saint-Aubin at Angers), fol. 34r– 76r, Paris, BnF, lat. 17526 (12th century, France), fol. 24r–58r (fragment), Montpellier, BIU. Section de Médecine, H 137 (late 11th century, France), fol. 172v–229v, Palermo, Archivio Storico Diocesano, 14 (12th century, France), fol. 71r–112v. The Montpellier copy has a capitulatio, the Paris manuscripts do not.

The abbreviation was used in the Collectio canonum I in Milano, Ambrosiana, A. 46 inf. which came to Milan from Reims. It was also used for the Collectio XVII librorum; Schmitz has identified the copy in the Ms Montpellier, BIU. Section de Médecine, H 137 as the closest to the Poitevine collection. The abbreviation was also used for the Collectio CCCXLII capitulorum, which was probably compiled at Lyon, and for the Lothringian Collectio IV librorum in Köln, Dombibliothek, 124.
