The best manuscript of Tibullus is the {{Lang|la|Ambrosianus}} (A), which has been dated {{circa|lk=no|1375}}, whose earliest known owner was the humanist [[Coluccio Salutati]].<ref>{{Cite journal |title=Review of: Tibullus: Elegies.

Ottob. lat. 1202 (also written in Florence, 1426). These form only a small share of the over 100 Renaissance manuscripts. There are also a number of extracts from Tibullus in {{Lang|da|Florilegium Gallicum}}, an anthology from various Latin writers collected in the mid-twelfth century, and a few extracts in the {{Lang|la|Excerpta frisingensia}}, preserved in a manuscript now at [[Munich]]. Also excerpts from the lost {{Lang|la|Fragmentum cuiacianum}}, made by [[Joseph Justus Scaliger|Scaliger]], and now in the library at [[Leiden]] are of importance for their independence of A. It contained the part from 3.4.65 to the end, useful as fragments go as the other manuscripts lack 3.4.65. The {{Lang|la|Codex cuiacianus}}, a late manuscript containing the works of Catullus, Tibullus and Propertius, is still extant.{{sfnp|Postgate|1911|p=931}}
