Barcelona, Archivo General de la Corona de Aragón, San Cugat 63 is the only copy of the third version of the Caesaraugustana. It was unknown to Fournier and has been studied only by few scholars so far. The label "third version" (adopted here from Fowler-Magerl) is purely conventional; it does not imply that this version was more recent than the second version, let alone that it was based on the latter.

The third version of the Caesaraugustana is divided into only six books. it contains excerpts from the Exceptiones Petri and a regnal catalogue of 1143/44, and seems to have been compiled not much later.

Caesaraugustana III is not well studied and not contained in the database. Note that there is considerable confusion in the literature concerning the various versions and manuscripts of the Caesaraugustana; the Barcelona, manuscript is sometimes referred to as a "reorganised copy" of the Caesaraugustana II, while at the same time other manuscripts are referred to as "third version" of the Caesaraugustana.
