• Paris France Bibliothèque Nationale de France Lat. 13047

Written probably in Northern France. Provenance Corbie: the manuscript can be identified with an item in a thirteenth-century Corbie catalogue. On fol. 2 stands the seventeenth-century entry: 'ex libris Corbeie Monasterii'. Later at Saint-Germain-des-Prés, where it was numbered '841, olim 675' (fol. 2). Came to the Bibliothèque Nationale during the Revolution. The Carolingian binding is noteworthy.

Script of the main portion is a regular roundish early minuscule by several scribes with a number of cursive elements; a and N have two forms. Foll. 105–115r, lines 1–12, are in graceful, natural uncial, contemporary with the minuscule that follows and precedes; on fol. 106 occurs the ancient form ꝹŌM (uncial M) for dominum. The first three lines are in red; the title is in smaller black uncial. Three lines of uncial standing by themselves on fol. 104v are ornamentally framed as in older manuscripts. Fol. 163 is palimpsest: the erased script, hardly legible, seems a part of a document in cursive saec. VIII. Marginal notes in Anglo-Saxon script saec. IX on fol. 161 recto and verso. Notae Tironianae passim.
