Modena, Archivio Capitolare, O.I.12 is the sole copy of the Collectio Mutinensis which draws on the Collectio Dionysiana II. However, Zechiel-Eckes, Die erste Dekretale, 50-51 counts the Modena manuscript as a Dionysiana copy. In this he follows Wurm, Studien, p. 32 who listed it among the copies of the "pure Dionysiana". However, Wurm at the same time was clear that Modena, Biblioteca Capitolare, O.I.12 contained the Collectio Mutinensis (p. 32), which presents the decretals of the Liber decretorum Dionysii in a different sequence (p. 80).

Note that Bischoff referred to the manuscript as being held in the "Biblioteca Capitolare" and the 2005 Clavis as "Biblioteca Capitolare Eusebiana" (apparently confusing it with the Vercelli chapter library).
