Oxford, Bodleian Library, Tanner 8 is sometimes described as a copy of Gratian's Concordia discordantium canonum. According to the Oxford catalogue (i.e. the Bodleian exemplar of the Quarto catalogue with handwritten additions) it contains three works of canon law: Omnibonus, Abbreviatio decreti, Faventinus' Summa, and the Tanner Collection (or Bodleiana in Kuttner, Repertorium p. 294).

Note that the manuscript is sometimes cited by folio numbers, sometimes by page numbers. The confusion of the two may explain why the online catalogue describes the codex as having two parts with together 723 folios. The same catalogue lists the Tanner Collection twice but omits the Abbreviatio decreti.
