The short answer is no. The sine qua non for locating papal materials is
P. Jaffe, Regestaa pontificum Romanorum; 2nd ed, 2 vols., Leipzig 1885-88.
The ed. was prepared under the auspicies of G. Wattenbach w/help from S.
Loewenfeld, F. Kaltenbrunner, and P. Ewald. It is customary to cite
papal materials in addition to the actual ed. parenthetically [in
brackets] by their Jaffe number as follows: JK for materials through 589
(Pelagius I), JE from 590-882 (John VIII) and JL from 883-1198 according
to the ed. who wworked on the section.
