 Publisher Johann Andreas Schmeller chose a misleading title for the collection, which created the misconception that the works contained in the "Codex Buranas" were not from Benediktbeuern.Schmeller attempted to organize the collection into "joking" ("Scherz") and "serious" ("Ernst") works, but he never fully completed the task.The ordering scheme used today was proposed in 1930 by Alfons Hilka and in the first critical text edition of the "Carmina Burana".
