Paris, BnF, lat. 3848A is a copy of the Collectio Quesnelliana (fol. 1-179?) with an appendix fol. 180v-188r (mainly conciliar canons but also a royal capitulary, Statuta ecclesiae antiqua, and JE 1743). Contrary to what Hoskin p. 113 claimed it contains letters of Leo I (Vanspauwen p. 593).
According to Mordek, Bibliotheca capitularium p. 438 it was written in the middle or third quarter of the ninth century, perhaps in Paris. It was at Beauvais in the 15th century and still there when Hardouin used the manuscript, as Vanspauwen pointed out (pace Kéry, p. 27).
