The Collectio Vaticana in Vat. lat. 1342 is a small canon law collection extant in four manuscripts. The collection orginally may date from the sixth century (Maassen), but as Vocino and West have pointed out, all extant copies contain canons of the 743 Roman synod, so the present form was only produced in the eighth century.

According to Maassen, Geschichte p. 462 is closely related to the ‚vermehrte Hadriana‘ (aka Dionysiana adaucta).

Manuscripts

Maassen, Geschichte p. 512-513 had listed four complete manuscripts (and two fragments):

Following Kéry, Collections p. 25 and ultimately Zechiel-Eckes, Vocino and West also list four complete copies. Unlike Maassen, they regard Laud.misc.421 as a an excerpt (containing the capitulatio but not the Vaticana collection) but count Düsseldorf, ULB, E.1 (https://digital.ub.uni-duesseldorf.de/ms/content/titleinfo/3870845) (elsewhere decribed as a copy pf the Dionysiana) as a copy of the Vaticana. Vocino and West argue for a later date of compilation:

"The eighth-century Collectio Vaticana, though probably compiled before Charlemagne’s conquest in 774, was evidently of considerable interest in Carolingian Italy, from which all the surviving complete manuscripts derive: Vat. lat. 1342 (s. viiiex), Barb. lat. 679 (s. viiiex–ixin) and Düsseldorf ULB E 1 (s. ixex), as well as Edili 82 (s. ixex). It is moreover likely that these manuscripts are but the remains of an originally rather more substantial transmission. Two other Carolingian canon law codices (Novara, Biblioteca Capitolare XXX (66) and Oxford, Bodleian Library, Laud. misc. 421) include the capitulatio or contents page of the Collectio Vaticana, while two ninth-century Italian manuscripts (Lucca, Biblioteca Capitolare Feliniana, MS 125 and Leipzig, Universitätsbibliothek, Hänel 8+9) contain excerpts from it."
