The bulk of Paris, BnF, lat. 12097 was written in Southern France in the sixth or seventh centuries; only the first and the last quaternio (fols. "a" to "g" and 225r-232v, respectively) were added later. The codex was used by Schwartz for EOMIA (his Codex Corbeiensis or simply C).

It contains a large number of canon law (in the widest sense) texts, including most famously the only extant copy of the Collectio Corbeiensis on fol. 9r-92r. Mordek called the text fol. fol. 177v-178v the Collectio Corbeiensis systematica.
