Paris, Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal, 678 is a copy of Burchard.

It may be the Burcard copy mentioned in the twelfth-century Saint-Aubin catalogue, but as there are three Burchard copies from this abbey (BnF lat. 3860, Angers 368, and Arsenal 678), the identification is uncertain.


It contains two synodal ordines: Ordo 7 after book 1 and the more common Ordo 5 after book 3.

Prov. St Aubin (Angers); saec. XI/XII; written in northern or central Italy (Schneider)
