Title

The title Collectio Italica goes back to Wirbelauer; in the older literature including Kéry, it is known as Sanblasiana.

Manuscripts

According to Wirbelauer, Zwei Päpste, p. 122, the Italica is an important pre-Carolingian collection extant in five pre-Carolingian manuscripts:

• Köln, Erzbischöfliche Diözesan- und Dombibliothek, 213
• Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, lat. 3836
• Malibu,
• Sankt Paul im Lavanttal, Stiftsbibliothek, 7 1
• Lucca, Biblioteca Capitolare Feliniana, 490

and three later ones:

• München, BSB, Clm 5508
• Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, lat. 1455
• Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, lat. 4279

Kéry, Collections p. 30 lists only six manuscripts (Cologne, Lucca, Sankt Paul, and the three Paris mss) and additionally refers to a "large fragment" in a private collection: "Cheltenham, Phillipps Collection, 17849, saec. VIII™ Italy; cf. CLA 27, no. 143, pp. 8, 49, 57. After World War IT it was acquired by Dr. M. Bodmer (Cologny near Geneva)."
