French Burchard
Checklists
- Checklist Burchard long
- Checklist Burchard very short
- Pending the publication of Daniel Gneckow's paper on the Italian Burchard, we will also have a very complete checklist
Collections
In the paper, only collections extant in at least two copies are covered; for works extant in only one (sometimes fragmentary) manuscript, it is often difficult to say whether they are "collections" at all (as opposed to excerpts, fragments, or variants of other collections) and whether they had any impact beyond their place of origin. In any case, taking them into account would not change the bigger picture; roughly half of them draw on Burchard (Atrebatensis), the other half does not.
- Alger of Liège, De misericordia et iustitia: not normally counted as a collection; probably used Burchard, but in a way that makes it near impossible to say more
- Collectio XVII librorum (see Collectio XVII librorum analysis): modeled on Burchard
- Collectio Atrebatensis (codex unicus: Arras, BM, 425, fol. 1v–67v)
- Collectio Burdegalensis (see Collectio Burdegalensis analysis): modeled on Burchard
- Collectio canonum in Paris, Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal, 721 (codex unicus)
- Collectio canonum I in Paris, BnF, lat. 4283 and Collectio canonum II in Paris, BnF, lat. 4283 (see Paris, BnF, lat. 4283 analysis) (codex unicus)
- Collectio Sanctae Genovevae (see Collectio Sanctae Genovevae analysis) only fragmentary copy: Paris, Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève, 166
- Ivo of Chartres, Decretum (here treated together with the first Arsenal 713 collection, and the derivative collections): modeled on Burchard, incorporating almost all of it
- Sententiae magistri A.: not normally counted as a collection; uses Burchard only indirectly via Panormia
Manuscripts
The reception of Burchard in France has not been studied in detail. Cushing suggested that it was "not negligible", though she counted only "some 13" copies to be French: "Only some 13 of the extant manuscripts are French and none of these date before 1050." (p. 39).
Map: Overview over Burchard manuscripts written or preserved in the area of modern France (plus Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Alsace)
Note that our list of 24 manuscript does not include Paris, BnF, lat. 2389 (misidentified as a Burchard copy sometimes), and that we treat the codex discissus Paris, BnF, lat. 4283/Troyes, BM, 1386 as one manuscript.
