Roma, Biblioteca Casanatense, 2010 is a composite manuscript written at Farfa in the late eleventh century, with some additions made in the early twelfth century. It is written in long lines and has 220 folios. Part 1 (fol. 1-87), which contains 74T (Rc in Gilchrist's edition) may have been written by Gregory of Catino (Wolf von Glanvell) who compiled the Collectio Farfensis. Part 2 (fol. 88-220), written by several hands, contains excerpts from Deusdedit, an abreviated version of Cresconius, a short form of the Collectio XLIV capitulorum „De episcoporum transmigratione“, and other materials.

According to Wolf von Glanvell, the Deusdedit copy used for the Casanatense manuscript was more complete, but not necessarily better than Città del Vaticano, BAV, Vat. lat. 3833.
