von Schulte in 1868 described a thirteenth-century canon law manuscript that was part of the Lobkowicz collection; the shelfmark was ‘Num. 496’ according to Schulte.

Today, the Lobkowicz Collection is partly preserved in Prague, partly in Nelahozeves Castle. No modern account of the manuscript is known; it may or may not have been lost since 1868.

According to von Schulte, the manuscript contained two collection. The first, on fol. 1r-85v mainly drew on patristic writing; Schulte described it as a rather raw collection perhaps made in preparation of another one. The second collection on fol. 87v-102r are excerpts (87 canons) from the Collectio Anselmo dedicata. ÂReferences to the Lobkowicz manuscript as a (complete) copy of the Anselmo dedicata are mistaken.
