Firenze, Biblioteca Riccardiana, 3006, fol. 203r–205v contains a small florlegium (FB). The Riccardiana manuscript also contains the Liber canonum diversorum sanctorum patrum (Collection of S. Maria Novella). The first six canons (seven according to Picasso, because he treats Quam sit necessarium as two separate canons), are found in the same form at the beginning of book 3 of the Farfensis. The texts in the Ms Riccardiana are taken from the form of the 74T which served the copy in the Ms Paris, BN n. a. l. 326 as prototype (see above p. 114). This explains why Kölzer found the same form of canon six in the Ms Paris, BnF, lat. 13658 and in the 4L, both of which are taken from this form. In the Riccardiana manuscript there is neither capitulatio nor rubrics and the texts are not numbered. Canon eight is represented only by [124] the incipit and Require retro, which refers to the presence of the canon in the Collection of S. Maria Novella in the same manuscript. Canons 16–18 are repetitions of canons 10, 13, 11 and 12.
