Title
The title Collectio Italica goes back to Wirbelauer; in the older literature including Kéry, it is known as Sammlung der Handschrift von Sanct Blasien (Maassen) or Sanblasiana.
Manuscripts
According to Wirbelauer, Zwei Päpste, p. 122, the Italica is an important pre-Carolingian collection extant in five pre-Carolingian manuscripts:
- Köln, Erzbischöfliche Diözesan- und Dombibliothek, 213
- Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, lat. 3836
- Malibu, s.n. (olim "Sammlung Ludwig XIV. 1" according to Wirbelauer)
- Sankt Paul im Lavanttal, Stiftsbibliothek, 7 1 (= Maassen's "Cod. Sanblasianus 6 [sic]", apparently)
- Lucca, Biblioteca Capitolare Feliniana, 490
and three later ones:
- München, BSB, Clm 5508 according to Wirbelauer (see below on Kéry).
- Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, lat. 1455
- Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, lat. 4279
Kéry, Collections p. 30 lists only six manuscripts (Cologne, Lucca, Sankt Paul, and the three Paris mss) and additionally refers to a "large fragment" in a private collection: "Cheltenham, Phillipps Collection, 17849, saec. VIIIex Italy; cf. CLA 27, no. 143, pp. 8, 49, 57. After World War II it was acquired by Dr. M. Bodmer (Cologny near Geneva)." As for Clm 5508, she only mentions it as a copy of the Collectio Frisingensis I (2) and the Collectio Diessensis (4).
Date
The most recent material is from the early sixth century; according to Maassen, the Sankt Paul manuscript (his "Cod. Sanblasianus 6") dates from the sixth century (504).
Content and Structure
The collection is chronologically arranged. Wirbelauer (p. 123) divides the material into five sections (A-E):
- Conciliar canons (Nicaea to Antiochia)
- Symmachian Documenta (his "SD I")
- Papal letters "in chronologischer Abfolge von Siricius bis Leo"
- Creeds
- Appendices: Serdica to Julius and two letters of Gelasius I (JK 636 and 675)
