Admont, Stiftsbibliothek, Cod. 162 is a manuscript (saec. XII, in long lines) of 207 folios containing a mix of canon law and polemic writings.

On fol. 6-139 it contains a copy of the second version of the Collectio Tripartita (= D in the Brett/Nowak edition). The manuscript is not damaged at end, where the collection ends with Tripartita B20.58. It is closely related to KNM (= Berkeley, University of California, Law Library, Robbins 102, Gniezno, Archiwum Archidiecezjalne, 25, and München, BSB, Clm 12603) though a copy of none (or of their source, since it lacks some of KN’s distinctive shared readings), and among these is very close to M, like which it omits canons at fairly frequent intervals. Like M too, it lacks the additions after Tripartita B9.2 which are found in N, but the other omitted canons in both D and M make the significance of this hard to assess. The text has been heavily corrected, but not apparently from a copy of another version. Has a small set of additions after Tripartita B 14, and extensive material added in several hands at the beginning and end, much of it also shared with M, for which, at least in these sections, it may well be the source – for which see Brett's account online.

On fol. 154v-163v "Canones aliquot quibus exempla regum excommunicatorum addita sunt". Otherwise the second half of the codex (fol. 140r-206v) contains Agobar´s De antiphonario and above all polemical works by Bernold of Konstanz, Manegold of Lautenbach, Peter Damian, Deusdedit, and Anselm of Lucca. Note the arbor consanguinitatis on fol. 142r.
