Paris, BnF, lat. 2389 is a composite manuscript. The second unit (fol. 1-16) on fol. 2r-15r contains book four of Burchard. The rest of fol. 15v and fols. 16r-v are empty. This copy of book four is unique insofar otherwise only books 19 and 20 of the Liber decretorum enjoyed a separate circulation.
The Burchard text is quite raw; the text lacks canon numbers, all rubrics, and at least on the first folios also initial letters (although many are supplemented by a much later hand). The inscriptions in the margin by the main hand are heavily abbreviated.
