Mantova, BC, 266 is a twelfth-century manuscript from the monastery San Benedetto in Polirone. On fol. 33r–35v is a somewhat earlier florilegium dealing with the possessions of the church and with penance. Giuseppe Motta has analysed it and his analysis is the basis of the present analysis (PN). The collection contains texts from the [133] Hibernensis and from the florilegium Pro causa iniuste excommunicationis. It also contains a number of texts which would be used in Poitiers for the first version of the Tarraconensis. Among these is an Augustinian text which would appear in a shorter form as the final text in the first version of that collection: Penitentes, penitentes. Several of the texts in the Polirone collection are found in the Collectio V librorum in Vat. lat. 1348, which is an abbreviated form of the Collection of S. Maria Novella (NP 2. 25.1–6, 8 and 12).
