Paris, BnF, lat. 3874

Paris, BnF, lat. 3874, formerly a Colbertinus, is a copy of Ivo's Decretum (B in Brett's edition). Written saec. XII^2/2, in two columns, from Moissac, and almost entirely in a single hand (Jean Dufour, La bibliothèque et le scriptorium de Moissac, Hautes études médiévales et modernes 15, 1972 136 no. 82, with a photograph of part of fo. 10 as pl. lxx). Ends now with book 16, but book 17 is in the argumenta at the beginning. The text is usually fairly close to P and V, though it has distinctive features in text and arrangement. It often omits rubrics or inscriptions otherwise well-attested. An early modern scholar occasionally entered the canon numbers of the edition in the margin. The microfilm is not always easy to read, particularly in the gutters. Szuromi (2010) 35 suggests book 10 is also missing, but this is an oversight.

For the sigla of Brett's edition, see Ivo of Chartres, Decretum#Sigla of the edition.
