The Collectio Hispana Gallica Augustodunensis is a special form of the Collectio Hispana Gallica. It was associated with Autun as the only complete manuscript (Vat. lat. 1341.) contains material referring to Autun, but it actually comes from Corbie according to Bischoff. For this reason, Eric Knibbs calls it the Hispana Gallica Corbeiensis. The link to Corbie is important, especially in light of Klaus Zechiel-Eckes' findings about the Corbie library providing the Pseudoisidorian forgers with important manuscripts.

The collection was produced by the Pseudoisidorian forgers and used to produce the capitularies attributed to Benedictus Levita and for the conciliar canons in the long form of Pseudoisidore.

Two ninth century manuscripts have survived, both associated with Corbie: Vat. lat. 1341 and Berlin, SBPK, Hamilton 132.

See http://www.benedictus.mgh.de/quellen/chga/ for a description and transcription of the content based on Vat. lat. 1341.

Kéry, p. 70 lists three manuscripts containing the conciliar canons as found in the Collectio Hispana Gallica Augustodunensis:

  1. Eton, College Library, B.1.I.6 (James 97), saec. XII
  2. London, British Library, Royal 11.D.IV, saec. XV, copy of Eton, College Library, B.1.1.6
  3. Paris, BnF, lat. 3855, saec. XV

In addition, there are lost manuscripts. According to P. Coustant (1721) manuscripts which are now lost were in his day still to be found at Beauvais, Noyon and Laon, cf. Richter, ‘Stufen’ 30-31
