The 42 capitula are part of Hincmar's De villa Novilliaco, a dossier on Neuilly-Saint-Front and how it was given to Reims, lost, and finally (in 876) returned. The capitula are a mix of canon law and royal capitularies. Two early medieval copies are known, Paris, BnF, lat. 4628A and 10748, plus a fifteenth-century apograph of the former (Paris, BnF, lat. 4631) and an early modern copy of the latter (Hamburg theol. 1717, written in 1604). The manuscript Sirmond based his edition (reprinted many times, including PL) is lost.

While the rest of the De villa Novilliaco dossier was available in print since 1611, Mordek in 1997 was the first to edit the capitula at least by incipit and explicit. The analysis of the collection in the Clavis database is based on his edition, which has been checked against and supplemented from Paris, BnF, lat. 10748, the earliest and best of the extant copies.
