Albi, Médiathèque Pierre-Amalric, 2, written saec. IX2/2 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.

Digital images of the manuscript are online, but as of early 2025 biblissima seems not to have an entry on Albi, BM, 2 while ARCA has an entry but does not link to the digital images.
