Oxford, Bodleian Library, D’Orville 46 (SC 16924) is a physically incomplete copy of the Collectio Tripartita. It is manuscript O in the Brett/Nowak edition.
D'Orville 46 is written in an Anglo-Norman hand of s. xii med in long lines.
It contains Tripartia A1.5.4 to B20.32 (med.), lacking a quire at the beginning (the first surviving quire is lettered ‘b’) and more at the end. It has also lost a leaf or leaves after fol. 48, covering Tripartia A 1.54 from mid-c. 13 to the end of the Pelagius section, and in the earlier sections the rubrics are often boxed in the margin. It was annotated in a number of later hands. Originally a copy of the first version apparently based on a text which had some of A's idiosyncratic readings (though not A itself, since it is not abbreviated), it was partly corrected from another first version copy. It does not have the dislocation found in H and Q (and partly in A) in Tripartia A 2.3-4, 2.26. In the passages where O overlaps with T they are usually very close.
