• Paris France Bibliothèque Nationale de France Lat. 13756 (foll. 1–118)

Written presumably in North or North-east France, to judge by the script. Belonged to the monastery St Pierre des Fossés (later St Maur des Fossés), at least as early as the twelfth century: the eighteenth-century entry 'S. Mauri Fossat. 88 bis' stands on fol. 1, and a twelfth-century entry is seen on fol. 189v. Later at Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Came into the Bibliothèque Nationale during the Revolution.

Script is of two kinds—(1) pre-Caroline type with a-b influence is seen on foll. 1–28: two forms of a; b mostly has the tag to the right; the shafts of b and l often bend at the base-line; the right arc of o rises above the left arc; sickle-shaped u occurs both on the line and suprascript; y is short and dotted; ligatures are numerous, ti being used for hard and soft ti; the capital Q has the typical Luxeuil form; (2) foll. 28v to the end of the MS are in Caroline minuscule: a is the rule; ascenders are long; cursive ligatures are avoided. There is some resemblance to CLA 2.202a.
