Manuscript latin 3682 of the Bibliothèque nationale de France is a parchment manuscript from the second quarter of the 12th century, probably produced in Tuscany, Italy. It contains Burchard's Liber decretorum.

Codicology

The manuscript consists of 170 folios, measuring 370 x 255 mm. It's written in Carolingian minuscule, with a two-column layout.

The decoration is simple but elegant. There are ornate initials for each opening word of the books, variously decorated on folios f.1; f.3v; f.29; f.41; f.59v; f.66v; f.70v; f.75v; f.79; f.85v; f.90v; f.99; f.105v; f.107v; f.109; f.110v; f.115; f.118v; f.128 (initial of the Book XX is missing, fol 151v). There are also rubrics and simple rubricated initials at the beginning of each canon.

Is present a diagram of arbor consanguineitatis a f. 78.

The Bibliothèque nationale de France has studied the history of this manuscript, which appears to have belonged to Jacques Tronsard de Bourges; Jacques Thiboust, Lord of Quantilly, notary and secretary to the king (16th century); Monseigneur de Sacy, advisor to the king and secretary of his finances (16th century); Jean Lauverjat (second half of the 16th century); Cardinal de Richelieu; Sorbonne. (see literature Avril, Zatuska, 1980, no. 75, pl. XXXI-XXXII).

Contents

Burchard chapter	fol.	Significant Variants	Literature
BU01.021	5r	Between Cavendum et summopere […] per os dicat Gregorii and Et alibi. Dolens inquit […] diu stare non poterit is found the long version of the canon: Cur non videtur, cur non perpenditur quia a benedictio illi in maledictionem convertitur, quia ad hoc ut fiat hęreticus ordinatur. Et item. Quisquis contra hanc simoniacam […] tantummodo inaniter concupiscit […] stare non poterit. For the short version, see editio princeps fol. 3rb: Cur non perpendit, quia benedictio illi in maledictionem converitur.	Fowler-Magerl, Fine Distinctions pp. 147–149; Fransen, Montpellier p. 306; Fransen, Valeur p. 6; Galli/Rolker, Destroyed pp. 22–23, 33
BU01.023	5r	There is an addition after c. 23. As in many Italian copies, in BnF lat. 3862 c. 23 is followed by Si quis episcopus aut presbiter aut abbas per pecuniam […] et sit anathema sicut Simon Magus a Petro. In the editio princeps fol. 3va, c. 23 ends ... detestatio ne percussus, and c. 24 begins: Quod non oporteat ordinationes episcoporum diu differri. Quoniam quidam metropolitanorum quantum comperimus ne ...	Fransen, Montpellier p. 306
BU01.234	27v	No additions after the end of book one, but the last canon is reported as c. 235 (Quia vero plurimi episcoporum ex aliis […] est in troadam). See fol. 32r in the editio princeps.	Dusil, Wissensordnungen p. 257 n. 258
BU02.007	29v	This c. is missing.
BU02.018-024	30r	C. 23 (De rebus vero illorum vel peculiari) is displaced, so that the sequence of canons is "17, 22, 18-21, 23". See fol. 36r-36v of the editio princeps for the standard sequence. Note that the cc. in question are 17-23, since chapter 7 is missing from the book, normally it would have been "18, 23, 19-22, 24".	Fransen, Montpellier pp. 301, 307; Galli/Rolker, Destroyed pp. 33–34; Gneckow, Abhängigkeiten p. 135
BU02.239 - end part	39v	The final canon corresponds to the last one found in the standard version of the text, with no additional material. However, shortly before the end of the book, some chapters are missing, specifically chapters 234–235 and 237–238. As a result of these omissions, the last c. is numbered 236. See fol. 54r of the editio princeps for the ending of book two („Wormser Ordnung Typ A“).
BU03.015	42r	Addition after c. 15 (see fol. 58r of the editio princeps), namely an excerpt from JE 1317 beginning Pervenit ad me quod and ending per clericorum ambitum destruantur.	Fransen, Montpellier p. 306; Galli/Rolker, Destroyed pp. 44–45
BU03.241- end part	56v	After book three is added a synodal order. The most common one is Schneider's Ordo 5 but there is considerable variety, as Schneider's discussion of the individual ordines makes clear. See fol. 81 of the editio princeps for the ending of book three („Wormser Ordnung Typ A“). Here: Incipit ordo qualiter in aecclesia ab episcopo synodus agatur incipit: Hora diei prima, ante solis ortum, eiciantur omnes ab ecclesia.	Fransen, Valeur pp. 2, 6–7, 14; Schneider MHG Ordines pp. 31-37; Galli/Rolker, Destroyed pp. 20, 43; Hoffmann/Pokorny, Dekret pp. 41–45
BU08.038	81v	BnF lat. 3862 break off with cohabitare tecto, followed by spatium partially filled in by a later hand. C. 38 is followed directly by c. 50. See fol. 117v-118r of the editio princeps for c. 38, fol. 118r for c. 39, and fol. 119v for cc. 49-50.	Fransen, Montpellier p. 303–304; Fransen, Valeur pp. 2, 9–10, 19; Galli/Rolker, Destroyed pp. 20, 49–53
BU08.049-50	81v-82r	The hand that uses the space does not fill it with cc. 39-49 but rather the incipit of cc. are: Res quoque ecclesiarum vestrarum et oblationes; Ut nullus abbas vel monachus penitentiam.See fol. 118r-119v of the editio princeps.	Fransen, Montpellier p. 303–304; Fransen, Valeur pp. 2, 9–10, 19; Galli/Rolker, Destroyed pp. 20, 49–53
BU12.009	105v	Here, c. 9 ends with similiter peniteat, see in the editio princeps fol. 154v.	Fransen, Tradition pp. 116–117; Fransen, Valeur pp. 2, 10, 19; Galli/Rolker, Destroyed pp. 20, 49–53; Gneckow, Abhängigkeiten pp. 137-138, 155
BU12.010-20	106rv	Lack of cc. 19-20, the others cc. 10-18 are present. See the editio princeps fol. 156r.	Fransen, Tradition pp. 116–117; Fransen, Valeur pp. 2, 10, 19; Galli/Rolker, Destroyed pp. 20, 49–53; Gneckow, Abhängigkeiten pp. 137-138, 155
BU12.029	106v-107v	The canon is transmitted in a number of variants: The phrase et post paululum is sometimes replaced by other words, here post pauca. What is the wording between asserendi copia profluus and hęc in suis narrat affectibus? In BnF 3862: adserendi copia profluus eloquentię fructu fecundus hoc in suis narrat affectibus. What is the wording between in malis promissis rescinde fidem and quod incaute novisti non facias? Here: in malis promissis rescinde fidem, in turpi voto, cave ut decretum quod incaute vovisti non facias. See editio princeps fol. 157.	Fransen, Montpellier p. 304; Fransen, Tradition pp. 116–117; Fransen, Valeur pp. 12–13, 15–18; Hoffmann/Pokorny, Dekret pp. 61, 63–64
BU19.108	150v	In deteriores copies, book 19 ends here (fol. 215r in the editio princeps). But in Bnf 3682 the Book XIX is complete.	Fransen, Montpellier pp. 304–305; Fransen, Valeur pp. 2, 10–11, 19; Galli/Rolker, Destroyed pp. 20, 49–53
