Manuscript latin 3682 of the Bibliothèque nationale de France is a parchment manuscript from the second quarter of the 12th century, probably produced in Tuscany, Italy. It contains Burchard's Liber decretorum.
Codicology
The manuscript consists of 170 folios, measuring 370 x 255 mm. It's written in Carolingian minuscule, with a two-column layout.
The decoration is simple but elegant. There are ornate initials for each opening word of the books, variously decorated on folios f.1; f.3v; f.29; f.41; f.59v; f.66v; f.70v; f.75v; f.79; f.85v; f.90v; f.99; f.105v; f.107v; f.109; f.110v; f.115; f.118v; f.128. There are also rubrics and simple rubricated initials at the beginning of each canon.
Is present a diagram of arbor consanguineitatis a f. 78.
The Bibliothèque nationale de France has studied the history of this manuscript, which appears to have belonged to Jacques Tronsard de Bourges; Jacques Thiboust, Lord of Quantilly, notary and secretary to the king (16th century); Monseigneur de Sacy, advisor to the king and secretary of his finances (16th century); Jean Lauverjat (second half of the 16th century); Cardinal de Richelieu; Sorbonne. (see literature Avril, Zatuska, 1980, no. 75, pl. XXXI-XXXII).

|---|---|---|---|
| BU01.021 | 5r | Between Cavendum et summopere […] per os dicat Gregorii and Et alibi. Dolens inquit […] diu stare non poterit is found the long version of the canon: Cur non videtur, cur non perpenditur quia a benedictio illi in maledictionem convertitur, quia ad hoc ut fiat hęreticus ordinatur. Et item. Quisquis contra hanc simoniacam […] tantummodo inaniter concupiscit […] stare non poterit.
For the short version, see editio princeps fol. 3rb: Cur non perpendit, quia benedictio illi in maledictionem converitur. |

| BU01.023 | 5r | There is an addition after c. 23. As in many Italian copies, in BnF lat. 3862 c. 23 is followed by Si quis episcopus aut presbiter aut abbas per pecuniam […] et sit anathema sicut Simon Magus a Petro.
In the editio princeps fol. 3va, c. 23 ends ... detestatio ne percussus, and c. 24 begins: Quod non oporteat ordinationes episcoporum diu differri. Quoniam quidam metropolitanorum quantum comperimus ne ... |
Fransen, Montpellier p. 306 |
| BU01.234 | 27v | No additions after the end of book one, but the last canon is reported as c. 235 (Quia vero plurimi episcoporum ex aliis […] est in troadam).
See fol. 32r in the editio princeps. |
Dusil, Wissensordnungen p. 257 n. 258 |
| BU02.007 | 29v | This c. is missing. | |
| BU02.018-024 | 30r | C. 23 (De rebus vero illorum vel peculiari) is displaced, so that the sequence of canons is "17, 22, 18-21, 23". See fol. 36r-36v of the editio princeps for the standard sequence.
Note that the cc. in question are 17-23, since chapter 7 is missing from the book, normally it would have been "18, 23, 19-22, 24". |
Fransen, Montpellier pp. 301, 307; Galli/Rolker, Destroyed pp. 33–34; Gneckow, Abhängigkeiten p. 135 |
| BU02.239 - end part | 39v | The final canon corresponds to the last one found in the standard version of the text, with no additional material. However, shortly before the end of the book, some chapters are missing, specifically chapters 234–235 and 237–238. As a result of these omissions, the last c. is numbered 236.
See fol. 54r of the editio princeps for the ending of book two („Wormser Ordnung Typ A“). |

| BU03.015 | 42r | Addition after c. 15 (see fol. 58r of the editio princeps), namely an excerpt from JE 1317 beginning Pervenit ad me quod and ending per clericorum ambitum destruantur. | Fransen, Montpellier p. 306; Galli/Rolker, Destroyed pp. 44–45 |
| BU03.241- end part | 56v | After book three is added a synodal order. The most common one is Schneider's Ordo 5 but there is considerable variety, as Schneider's discussion of the individual ordines makes clear. See fol. 81 of the editio princeps for the ending of book three („Wormser Ordnung Typ A“).
Here: Incipit ordo qualiter in aecclesia ab episcopo synodus agatur incipit: Hora diei prima, ante solis ortum, eiciantur omnes ab ecclesia. |
