Reims, BM, 673 (G. 522) is a copy of Burchard of Worms, Liber decretorum, followed by a fragment of another copy (fol. 241-243). The codex was written for Manasse II, who was bishop from 1096 to 1106. It is very similar to Reims, BM, 674.

The complete Burchard shows none of the most obvious changes commonly found with Italian Burchard copies: BU01.021 is not augmented (fol. 12vb), BU02.023 is not discplaced (fol. 48va), there is no additional text after BU03.015, and the Seligenstadt canons are those of the A version. It does not contain a synodal ordo.
