Salzburg, Erzabtei St. Peter, Benediktinerstift, Bibliothek, a. IX. 32 (also known as the Salzburg Codex) contains two canon law collections only known from this manuscrips plus various excerpts from different sources including Canones Romanorum ad Gallos, capitularies, and various canonical collections (Collectio Vetus Gallica, Collectio Hibernensis, Pseudoisidore, False Decretals). Besides the canon law materials, the Salzburg Codex also contains a fuparc runic alphabet.

The codex's assembly and authorship is mysterious and has been the focus of various scholars, as well as the codex's purpose and use. The Salzburg Codex bears a close resemblance to another manuscript, Köln, Dombibliothek, Cod. 120. The Salzburg Codex was created utilizing a variety of authoritative texts, some from Cologne, and others locally.
