Arras, BM, 723 (CGM 675) (siglum A in the MGH edition) is a codex of 132 folios in long lines normally dated to the eleventh century; according to Fransen (as cited by Somerville) it was written at Arras, where it certainly was in 1628. It is a copy of the first version of Regino's Libri duo, with Appendices A and B (as in all manuscripts) and a few later additions: a canon of Clermont 1096 (more precisely, the third of the "Baluze-Cencius" additions which are appended to the Polycarpus), a letter by Pope P(aschal II?) to I(vo) of Chartres and D(aimbert) of Sens beginning Iuxta sanctorum canonum on the protection of La Trinité de Vendôme. The latter text is a variant of JL 5782 normally attributed to Urban II. It was treated as suspicious by Loewenfeld and as a forgery by Becker (following Meinert).

Note that Biblissima refers to the manuscript as "Ms. 675" while ARCA prefers "723 (CGM 675)".
