Paris, BnF, lat. 12315 (Prov. North-Eastern France, maybe Corbie) is a miscellaneous manuscript. It contains book 19 of Burchard followed by the Seligenstadt canons. The last canons of Burchard 19 are numbered as cap. 123-145, the seligenstadt canons as 146-165 (as in Paris, BnF, lat. 12270).

According to the Catalogue général des manuscrits des bibliothèques publiques de France: Départements, this manuscript is part of a group of Latin manuscripts held by the Bibliothèque nationale de France (old Latin collection of Saint-Germain-des-Prés), which originated from the Abbey of Corbie. Specifically, the manuscript in question was transferred from Corbie in 1638, along with approximately 400 other manuscripts, to the library of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. It subsequently followed the fate of that library, which, in the aftermath of the French Revolution, in 1795-1796 became part of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France.

This is a composite manuscript, within which the nineteenth book of Burchard's Liber decretorum is preserved. In the manuscript, this book begins on folio 41, under the title, probably written in seventeenth century, Poenitentiale sive Correptor seu Medicus [?] in 165 capita seu imperfectum.
