The bulk of Paris, BnF, lat. 12097 was written in Southern France in the sixth century (or the seventh, according to Turner); 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). The date is controversial, but Kaiser, Beobachtungen pp. 85-86 made a strong case that the main hand wrote only part of the papal catalogue up to Hormisdas and hence the manuscript was written in 524 or shortly thereafter.

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. 177v-178v the Collectio Corbeiensis systematica. For a very detailed analysis of the contents, see Kaiser, Beobachtungen pp. 66-83.
