  We present the spectra of 36 Supernovae (SNe) of various types, obtained by
the European Supernova Collaboration. Because of the spectral classification
and the phase determination at their discovery the SNe did not warrant further
study, and the spectra we present are the only available for the respective
objects. In this paper we present and discuss this material using a new
software for the automated classification of SNe spectra.
  As a validation of the software, we verify the classification and phase
estimate reported for these objects in their discovery / classification
circulars. For the comparison, the software uses the library of template
spectra of Padova-Asiago Supernova Archive (ASA).
  For each spectrum of our sample we present a brief, individual discussion,
highlighting the main characteristics and possible peculiarities. The
comparison with ASA spectra confirms the previous classification of all objects
and refines the age estimates. For our software we determine numerical limits
of "safe" spectral classification and the uncertainties of the phase
determination.
