Hereford, Cathedral Library, O.II.7 contains various canon law materials including Flores canonum on fol. 1r-9r, a Burchard abbreviation on fol. 25r-43r (with Seligenstadt, first recension, on fol. 40v-41r), and the Collectio XVII librorum. There is considerable disagreement in the literature where the individual items begin and end.
Note that the manuscript is not listed among the Burchard abbreviations by Pokorny in Kéry, Collections pp. 147-148. Instead, Kéry lists fol. 1-11 (sic) as an abbreviation of the Collectio Lanfranci (p. 213) and fol. 46r-151v as containing the Collectio XVII librorum (p. 213).

Brommer, Kurzformen pp. 26 (Flores), 32-33 (Burchard abbreviation); Kéry, Collections pp. 213, 241; Jasper, MGH Conc. 8 p. 29.
