Zemský archiv v Opavě, pobočka Olomouc, Sbírka rukopisů Metropolitní kapituly u sv. Václava Olomouc, C.O. 205 is a twelfth-century copy of the Collectio Tripartita (siglum L in the Brett/Nowak edition).

This text seems unrelated to DKMN, and sample collations show its closest connections to be Paris, BnF, lat. 3858B (= C), rather than RXS, though it agrees with these against C from time to time. The text is complete, but is not a good one. It is seriously dislocated in Tripartita A2, though the shift is noticed by marginal notes in another hand. In the middle of A2 the text is interrupted by canons from the version of the Council of Reims of 1131, as found in the Codex Udalrici, in another hand.

The Olomouc manuscript cannot be a copy of C, for it lacks some of its minor peculiarities, but must depend on something very like Cˈs immediate ancestor, with which it shares the additions in Tripartita B 9 (also in RXSNV) and a multitude of other lesser variants. It is currently held to have been written in the years 1139–1141, at an early stage of bishop Henry Zdík of Olomouc’s creation of his cathedral library, and the additions have been attributed to a scribe trained at Mainz under Archbishop Adalbert I: Nowak (2012) 357-8, citing earlier literature.
