List of Breviarium extravagantium manuscripts

Selected Canon Law Collections, ca. 500–1234

The following is a work-in-progress list of known (to Danica Summerlin) manuscripts of Bernard of Pavia's Breviarium extravagantium. It takes as its starting points Kuttner's Repertorium and its various additions by Kuttner, Stickler, Fransen, Bertram, and others, and Gero Dolezalek's Manuscripta Juridica.

The list is divided into four sections: full(-ish) copies, meaning anything reasonably substantial even if incomplete; very partial copies (i.e. up to a quire, including flyleaves); lost copies; and 'under investigation', which normally means that the manuscript is listed somewhere (such as on the Biobibliographical Guide, in the literature, or in a manuscript catalogue) but either further due diligence is required to make sure that it really is a copy of the Breviarium, or something doesn't quite seem right and so it needs checking before it can be confirmed. As things progress, the plan is that the final section of the list should get shorter.

At that point, this will also be formatted into the helpful tables elsewhere on the site.
