Würzburg, Universitätsbibliothek, M.p.j.f. 3 is a codex of 254 folios (Italy, saec. XIII/XIV) containing mainly Roman law, namely Justinian's Authenticum (fol. 2r-111v), the Institutiones (fol. 112r-181r), Libri feudorum (fol. 181v-205v), books 10-12 of the Justinian Code (fol. 206v-250v), and canon law fragments (fol. 251 and 252).

It is not a copy of Gratian, although it erroneously was described as such on this Wiki in autumn 2024 (see here). This probably resulted from a typo, as Würzburg, Universitätsbibliothek, M.p.j.f. 30, a Gratian fragment, was included in one of the lists (at gratian.org) used for our project.

Note that the digitized catalogue available from manuscripta medievalia is no longer online, and has not (yet) been replaced by the Handschriftenportal.
