Oxford, Bodleian Library, Bodley 561 (SC 2345) is a composite MS assembled in this form by c. 1200, by which time it seems to have been at St Albans, though the original scribe is not known there. It contains on fol. 1-34 a collection only known from this manuscript (Collectio canonum in Oxford, Bodley 561) which draws on the Collectio Lanfranci and Part B only of the Collectio Tripartita.
The first, and earliest section (fol. 2-60) is written in a hand which is probably English, in long lines, saec. XII1/2.
The Tripartita fragment (part of the Bodley collection; Bodl. in the Brett/Nowak edition) spans B29.8-283A. Its readings align it generally, but not exclusively, with HQ (= Berlin, SBPK, Hamilton 345 and Paris, BnF, lat. 4282). The Bodley collection is one of the few collections to draw on Part B of the Tripartita while showing no acquaintance wiht Part A.
