Paris, BnF, lat. 3837
Scholars since Maassen (Geschichte pp. 431-432) generally agree that Paris, BnF, lat. 3837 and Città del Vaticano, BAV, Vat. lat. 5845 are two Dionysiana copies which contain the second recension of the synodal part (see Collectio Dionysiana II) and the decretal collection including its own praefatio (see Liber decretalium Dionysii). These two manuscripts are the only ones almost all scholars agree to represent this version. For other manuscripts containing the decretal collection of the Dionysiana, there is less agreement.
Paris, BnF, lat. 3837, fol. 1r-169v contains the Dionysiana (as defined above) followed by the Decretum Gelasianum (fol. 169v-172r), the Notitia Galliarum (fol. 172r-173v), a catalogue of the bishops of Angers up to 820 (fol. 173v), and a comment on the Greek alphabet (fol. 174).
For a description of Vat. lat. 5845, see Zechiel-Eckes, Die erste Dekretale, pp. 50-51.
