Paris, BnF, lat. 3858B (Colbertinus) is a copy of the second version of the Collectio Tripartita. It is manuscript C in the Brett/Nowak edition.
saec. XII2/2, written in two columns; it is said to be from Le Mans.
BnF, lat. 3858B was Fournier's base manuscript. It is a copy of the second version which has been heavily corrected at intervals, often against a first version copy, usually by erasure. The microfilm (also online) is often obscure, even where the manuscript has not been altered. Its text has some variants otherwise only found in L (Olomouc, Státní archiv, Universitni knihovna, C.O.205), and others which link it with the original form of RX; there are a large number of cases where C and R (but not X) have subsequently been corrected (see the description of R = Reg. lat. 973). One or two of the alterations to C suggest it has been ‘contaminated’ by readings from Gratian, though in principle the derivation might be the reverse. It has been annotated in some detail by an early modern scholar.
