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:

and three later ones:

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. VIIIex Italy; cf. CLA 27, no. 143, pp. 8, 49, 57. After World War II it was acquired by Dr. M. Bodmer (Cologny near Geneva)." As for Clm 5508, she only mentions it as a copy of the Collectio Frisingensis I (2) and the Collectio Diessensis (4).

Date

The most recent material is from the early sixth century; according to Maassen, the Sankt Paul manuscript (his "Cod. Sanblasianus 6") dates from the sixth century (504).

Content and Structure

The collection is chronologically arranged. Wirbelauer (p. 123) divides the material into five sections (A-E):

  1. Conciliar canons (Nicaea to Antiochia)
  2. Symmachian Documenta (his "SD I")
  3. Papal letters "in chronologischer Abfolge von Siricius bis Leo"
  4. Creeds
  5. Appendices: Serdica to Julius and two letters of Gelasius I (JK 636 and 675)
