Chartres, BM, 161 was a copy of an Italian version of Burchard's Liber decretorum (pace Pokorny who assumed it belonged to the ‘Order of Worms, type B’ tradition). The 'Italian' featuers include an Ordo synodalis (almost certainly Schneider’s no 5) at the end of book three, the displacmend of Burchard 2.23 between canons 18 and 19; at the beginning of book three, two canons are switched (cc. 9/10) and after c. 15, an excerpt from JE 1317 is added; finally, the interpolated versions of Burchard 3.179–180 are probably Italian, too.
