The Collectio canonum I in Paris, BnF, lat. 3858C on fol. 4r-55v (MY) is related to the Collectio Ashburnhamensis (LM). Linda Fowler-Magerl assumed that both collections have a common formal source, the lost intermediate collection she labelled "lm/my".
Like LM, MY begins with series of canons from the 74T and continues with a mixture of canons from the 74T, the 4L and texts also found in the A Aucta form of the collection of Anselm of Lucca. Unlike the Ashburnhamensis, the Paris collection is preceded by a capitulatio in two sections, one with 482 rubrics and one with 98. Following the second section, on fol. 56–88, is a 5th or 6th century chronological collection of conciliar canons unique to this manuscript, the Collectio canonum II in Paris, BnF, lat. 3858C. The canons of this early collection have nothing to do with the conciliar canons following LM in the Florence manuscript.
MY was completed in northern France. It contains on fol. 37v a canon attributed to the Roman historian Livius. Andreas Schminck argues that the knowledge of the classics which would have been necessary to create this forgery points to the provinces of Tours, Sens or Reims. MY contains a large block of canons from the Sinemuriensis and with canon 428 begins the long excerpt from the letter De nuptiis of Hincmar of Reims, a text found in this length only in the Collectio Sinemuriensis and its derivatives. LM does not contain any of the texts from the Sinemuriensis.
Preceding LM in the manuscript is the prologue associated with Ivo of Chartres and a fragment of a letter of Ivo (nr. 287). This is followed by a number of texts, including the liturgical canon attributed to pope Gregory VII, In die resurrectionis, in the longer form with the reference to teutonici.
