List of Breviarium extravagantium manuscripts
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 the location of that information is uncertain and so 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.
The sigla and type refer to the work of Gérard Fransen. In the early 1960s, Fransen published two critical pieces on the Breviarium, in which he outlined three stages of its composition. The earliest manuscripts - which themselves are not uniform - were declared the Σ-group. The next group contained some additions but were not the final version became the φ-group: most of these were French, so Fransen also referred to this as the 'French' group. The most recent set of manuscripts, also known as the 'classic' group, were the Λ-group. Between each set of manuscripts, moreover, Fransen identified 3 types of intermediary manuscripts that for whatever reason did not quite fit into his schematic. These are signalled below as 'I1-I3', but each of these manuscripts is itself distinct.
Fransen never published the final outcome of his research into the Breviarium: in 1961, he published a preliminary list of 38 manuscripts, their sigla and type, but in the 1965 follow-up ('La tradition manuscrite de la "Compilatio Prima"'), Fransen only mentioned select manuscripts.

Very Partial Copies
'Very Partial' here means a quire or less, and therefore includes fragments which are recorded only as flyleaves in other manuscripts. The 'Notes' section here details how much survives.

Antonio García y García (in 'Los manuscritos jurídicos', p. 512) identified six sets of flyleaves in Toledo manuscripts, which he suggested reflected a single Breviarium manuscript. As sections of Book 2 are repeated, however, it suggests at least two manuscripts. The manuscripts in question are: 20-12, 32-5, 36-12, G 3-8, G 6-1, and G 7-7.
Lost Copies
These are manuscripts that were known or described at some point, but which are no longer extant.

Under Investigation
Sion, Archives du Chapitre, MS no??? - first discussed in Stickler, 'Iter Helveticum' then referenced in Fransen as being an early intermediary type. This definitely exists, but the manuscript number is currently unknown.
HMML suggests a number of fragmentary copies of the Breviarium attached to other manuscripts either as flyleaves or similar:
- Bernkastel-Kues, Hospitalbibliothek 261 - ?10 leaves; unclear if the text or an apparatus
- Sankt- Pölten, Diözesanbibliothek, Codex Sanhippolytensis 25 - flyleaves?
- Klosterneuburg, Stiftsbibliothek Cod. 674 - early flyleaves
Paris, Bibliothèque Mazarine, Ms 814 is, according to Biblissima, a copy of Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica Prima, with 1 Comp. fragments as fly leaves.
Fransen, 'Espagne', p. 233 lists the following manuscripts of the Breviarium, only two of which were identified by Kuttner:
- Burgo de Osma 6 (=180?)
- Córdoba, Archivo Capitular, 10 (= 92?)
- Escorial, K.1.9
- Madrid, Biblioteca Nacional 99 (= C46)
- Madrid, Biblioteca Academia de la Historia, 66 (fragment)
- Tarragona, Biblioteca Pública, MS 55
He also added Sigüenza 10 and 12 in 'Espagne, II', p. 156, and Ourense, Arch. de la Catedral 4 in 'Espagne, III', p. 939. There are corroborating evidence for some of these, including Sigüenza 10 and Córdoba 10 (which may nevertheless be the same as the Córdoba 22 ms identified from Heine's 1846 ms list by Kuttner).
Ourense 4 and Madrid 99 remain uncertain. The old manuscript inventory commentary on Madrid 99 suggests a collection by Bernard, but not enough information is given for a secure attribution.
The Biobibliographical Guide to Medieval and Early Modern Jurists lists several additional manuscripts classed here as 'under investigation': the Sion manuscript noted above, plus Sigüenza 40, Tortosa, Bibl. Cabildo 269, and Olomouc KO 590 which are not mentioned elsewhere in lists of canonical manuscripts. When they are found, they shall be added... Paris, BnF lat. 1540 seems a typo for Paris, BnF lat. 15400 (otherwise missing from the list) while Firenze, Conv. Soppr. Vallombrosa, 38 and Paris, BnF, lat. 15399 are noted by Bertram and Kuttner, respectively, as being commentaries without the text of the decretals, on which more below.
Pennington, 'The Decretalists, 1190-1234', mentions Vercelli, Bibl. Cap. LXXXIX as containing a copy of 1 Comp. on p. 226, but the overview of the ms in 'Decretal collections, 1190-1234' (p. 308) makes no mention; this copy is therefore also under investigation until it can be examined.
Commentaries (?without text of the decretals)
The below are listed in various places as copies of the Breviarium but may in fact be commentaries with or without the text of the decretals included. They are also classed as 'under investigation'.
