The Collectio Teatina was described by Maassen, Geschichte, pp. 526-533 as one of his four Italian collections of the sixth century (the other ones being the Collectio Sanblasiana, the Collectio Vaticana in Vat. lat. 1342, and the Collectio Justelliana).

The Teatina is extant only in Città del Vaticano, BAV, Reg. lat. 1997, a manuscript Maassen did not see himself.

As Maassen and others noted, the Latin translation of the Greek synodal councils is the so-called Prisca translation.
