The Collectio Pithouensis (saec. VI) is a small canon law collection extant only in Paris, BnF, lat. 1564. This copy is incomplete as the manuscripts is fragmentary; the quires after fol. 136 are lost (Maassen).
The most recent material it contains dates from the sixth century, and Dunn and others have argued the collection was compiled still in this century. Kaiser has argued that the Collectio Corbeiensis was improved from the Pithouensis.
