Burchard chapter	fol.	Significant Variants	Literature
BU01.021	8rv	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	8v	There is an addition after c. 23. As in many Italian copies, in BnF lat. 9630 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	40r	No additions after the end of book one. The last canon is c. 234 (Quia vero plurimi episcoporum ex aliis […] est in troadam). Here Quia vero episcoporum plurimi ex aliis.	Dusil, Wissensordnungen p. 257 n. 258
BU02.018-024	44rv	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.	Fransen, Montpellier pp. 301, 307; Galli/Rolker, Destroyed pp. 33–34; Gneckow, Abhängigkeiten p. 135
BU02.239 - end part	64v	Standard end of Book II, but the last canon begins with Et instead of Ut. See fol. 54r of the editio princeps for the ending of book two („Wormser Ordnung Typ A“).
BU03.015	69r	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, plus another short canon (rubric: Ut nullus alius altare erigere presumat nisi quod ab episcopo consecratum est; incipit: Consecrata et nunc). C. 16 is absent.	Fransen, Montpellier p. 306; Galli/Rolker, Destroyed pp. 44–45
End of book III		Is there a synodal order added after book three? 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“).	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
VIII.38		While "German" copies (and Parma, Biblioteca Palatina, 3777) have the complete chapter (Si quis sacro uelamine consecratam in -- sine spe coniugii maneat), many deteriores break off with cohabitare tecto, followed by spatium or not. Sometimes, the missing text is added by a later hand; sometimes, c. 38 is merged with c. 49, or 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
VIII.49-50		Deteriores copies typically lack cc. 39-48; c. 49 may be incomplete or missing altogether. Sometimes, the two fragmentary canons cc. 38 and 49 are merged into one (grammatically disturbed) canon. See fol. 118r-119v of the editio princeps for a complete series of cc. 39-50.	Fransen, Montpellier p. 303–304; Fransen, Valeur pp. 2, 9–10, 19; Galli/Rolker, Destroyed pp. 20, 49–53
XII.9		In the deteriores copies, c. 9 ends with similiter peniteat. Sin autem (note that in copies like London, BL, Cotton Claudius C.vi, the sin autem is missing too).	Fransen, Tradition pp. 116–117; Fransen, Valeur pp. 2, 10, 19; Galli/Rolker, Destroyed pp. 20, 49–53; Gneckow, Abhängigkeiten pp. 137-138, 155
XII.10-20		Most copies which break off in c. 9 with sin autem also lack cc. 10-20.	Fransen, Tradition pp. 116–117; Fransen, Valeur pp. 2, 10, 19; Galli/Rolker, Destroyed pp. 20, 49–53; Gneckow, Abhängigkeiten pp. 137-138, 155
XII.29		The canon is transmitted in a number of variants: The phrase et post paululum is sometimes replaced by other words de iepte discernens What is the wording between asserendi copia profluus and hęc in suis narrat affectibus? What is the wording between in malis promissis rescinde fidem and quod incaute novisti non facias. (One Italian branch here reads eloquentię fructu fecundus).	Fransen, Montpellier p. 304; Fransen, Tradition pp. 116–117; Fransen, Valeur pp. 12–13, 15–18; Hoffmann/Pokorny, Dekret pp. 61, 63–64
XIX.108		In deteriores copies, book 19 ends here.	Fransen, Montpellier pp. 304–305; Fransen, Valeur pp. 2, 10–11, 19; Galli/Rolker, Destroyed pp. 20, 49–53
XX.57		In deteriores copies, book 20 ends with c. 57. Sometimes the missing canons are added by a later hand and/or other additions are found here, including JE †1996, JE 1362, and JK 744.	Fransen, Montpellier p. 305; Fransen, Valeur pp. 2, 11; Galli/Rolker, Destroyed pp. 20, 49–53
After book 20		The canons of Seligenstadt are found in several Burchard copies, most commonly after the last book of the Liber. Jasper has disinguished two recensions, see his account in MGH Conc. 8.	Rolker, Letters p. 112.- Jasper, MGH Conc. 8 pp. 24-26.
