Girona, Arxiu Capitular, ms. 4

Girona, Arxiu Capitular, ms. 4 (also known as Codex Gerundensis) is a copy of the Vulgate version of the Collectio Hispana in its Catalan form. In the literature, it is often referred to as "Códice Conciliar" (without a shelf mark) of the Girona archive. The Hispana fills to codex completely (fol. Ir—XXIIIv and 1r-365v)

The dating of the manuscript is slightly confused. In the edition, it seems to be dated saec. IXin, but as Scherer, Forschen p. 10 noted, this in all likelihood is a typo for "s. XIin". She asserts the manuscript was written in the first half of the eleventh century. However, Tischler pp. 89-91 argued for a date between 970 and 984 (citing Roura i Güibas for an even earlier date) and, based on palaeographical research, identified the scribe as Atto of Vic (not to be confused with the eponymous canon who became bishop of Vic). He also pointed to the list of ecclesiastical provinces on fol. 2r which he links with the contentious issue of the "emancipation" of the Catalan churches from Narbonne and the creation of an archdiocese of Vic in 970.
