Paris, BnF, lat. 3858A

Paris, BnF, lat. 3858A (Bigot) is a copy of the second version of the Collectio Tripartita. It is written in two columns. The copyist only numbered some canons in sequence, but often treated the canon numbers of the collection in other copies as if they were canon numbers in the material source. The text has many variants not yet found elsewhere, but is in general a version close to V and P, rather than W, an apparently distinct form of the second version; However, B and W share a string of extracts from the first book of the Panormia at the end, which are not found elsewhere. Like VP, and against W, it lacks Tripartita A 1.14.14, and like PW it lacks the additional canons after B 9.2 against V. Paris, BnF, lat. 3858A is unique among Tripartita manuscripts in including the canons of the Council of Westminster 1125 at the end.

The manuscript is saec. XII 1/2, from Fécamp, in a known hand: B. Branch, 'Willermus peccator et les manuscrits de Fécamp, 1100-1150', Cahiers de civ. med. 26 (1983), 195-207.
