Paris, BnF, lat. 1451 from St Maur (hence „Codex Fossatensis“ or „Handschrift von Saint-Maur“) contains a copy of the preface of the Collectio Dionysiana II and the only known copy of Collectio Sancti Mauri. According to CLA it was written near Tours early in the eighth century and contains a papal catalogue up to Hadrian I with Leo (795-816) added by a later hand on fol. 6v-7r. According to the description by the BnF, the Collectio Sancti Mauri is found on fol. 25v-108v.

CLA V 528 calls it "a direct copy of MS Hague Museum Meermanno-Westreenianum 9 of the year 800, a date attested by the lost colophon" while CLA X 1572a only says the mansucripts are "closely related". See Den Haag, Huis van het boek, 10 B 4.
