Paris, BnF, lat. 4283 is a composite manuscript. The first quaternio is the missing first quire of Troyes, BM, 1386; it contains Burchard's preface and the first 27 chapters of the Liber decretorum. The rest of BnF lat. 4283 has been described as a miscellany of separate (small) collections by Fransen and is partly found in the data base with the key FE (see Collectio canonum in Paris, BnF, lat. 4283).
Division of the materials
Brommer and Fransen analysed BnF lat. 4283 indepentendly of each other and divided the materials in different ways. Fowler-Magerl largely followed Fransen.
Brommer described fol. 1-48 as but one collection, a Burchard abbreviation drawing on the first 16 books. He identified the Sententiae sanctorum patrum (fol. 9r-11r) as excerpts from 74T similiar to those in Stuttgart, WLB, HB.VI.107 and Würzburg, Universitätsbibliothek, M.p.j.q. 2, and identified the Burchard material on fol. 11-47.
Fransen recognized the first quire as a separate codicologial unit (his Part A) and divided the second part of the manuscript in two parts (Parts B and C), the second of which he further divided in two large sections: Part B (fols. 9-57), part C1 (fol. 58r–65v and 77r–v; key FE02); part C2 (fol. 66r–76v, key FE03). He identified further sub-sections.
The Clavis canonum database largely follows Fransen for the division of the material: His "Part B" (fols. 9-57) is our Collectio canonum I in Paris, BnF, lat. 4283 (key FE01), his "C1" (fol. 58r–65v and 77r–v) is our Collectio canonum II in Paris, BnF, lat. 4283 (key FE02), and his "C2" is our Collectio canonum III in Paris, BnF, lat. 4283 (fol. 66r–76v, key FE03).
