Albi, Médiathèque Pierre-Amalric, Ms. 2, written saec. IX 2/2 in Southern France (probably Albi), contains the Collectio Albigensis on fol. 35r-114r (of 180 folios).
According to Maassen, it begins with a capitulatio, a papal catalogue up to Gregory I, the preface to the Dionysiana II, the Canones Apostolorum in the version of the Dionysio-Hadriana. Maassen and Turner held that the Albi manuscript (in large parts) was a faithful copy of an exemplar written in the seventh century at the behest of an otherwise unknown bishop Dido of Albi.
