The Collectio Colbertina extant only in Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, lat. 1455 (once part of Colbert's library). It is a derivative of the Collectio Sanblasiana combined with excerpts from the Collectio Quesnelliana (Elliot, Canon Law, p. 240: "[...] the Collectio Colbertina (Paris, Bibliothèque nationale, Lat. 1455 [s. ix3/4–4/4, Reims region]), compiled no earlier than the mid sixth century by combining the entirety of Coll.Sanb. with material from other collections, including Coll.Quesn.").
The place of origin is unknown; Kéry, Collections p. 31 reports "Gaul (Maassen); Northern France or Rhine region (Van Hove) (Stickler: more likely in Italy); Le Bras, “Notes III’ 514 n. 3: perhaps Rome?". Likewise, the date is uncertain, as Elliot, Canon Law, p. 234 noted: "the Colbertina may be as early as the middle of the sixth or as late as the eighth century."
