Content

Contains the Collectio Colbertina on fol. 1-79 and the Collectio Sancti Amandi on fol. 80-199; as the Colbertina draws on the Sanblasiana it is sometimes described as a copy of this collection:

  • von Dobschütz, Decretum Gelasianum, p. 157. Inter alia, Dobschütz claims that BnF lat. 1455 (his G8) contained a compilation based on Sanblasiana and Quesnelliana: "Enthält Bl. 1—79 eine aus der Sammlung von St. Blasien und Stücken der Quesnelschen Sammlung gebildete Kompilation gallischen Ursprungs".
  • Kéry, Collections p. 30 "The Collectio Sanblasiana is combined with excerpts from the Quesnelliana in this manuscript. Maassen, Geschichte, 536-542 identified the combination as the collection of the Colbert manuscript."
  • 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."
  • Hoskin p. 143 counts BnF lat. 1455 as a Sanblasiana copy
