• Paris France Bibliothèque Nationale de France Lat. 9665

Written probably in Burgundy, in a region where 'Luxeuil' traditions were still alive at the end of the eighth century. Later the MS belonged to Cluny (cf. the press-mark saec. XVII on fol. 2 and the entry saec. XVIII on the inside of the front cover). It was first catalogued in the Bibliothèque Nationale as 'Suppl. Lat. 1114’.

Script is archaic Caroline minuscule by several hands, in the general appearance and in some details still retaining half-uncial features; f and ꞅ are squarish, the tongue of f rests almost on the base line; ꞇ with the cross-stroke forming a loop at the left occurs, especially in one particular hand seen on fol. 32; the first line of fol. 44 looks like an attempt to write half-uncial. The numeral M normally resembles a lying 8 which suggests an ancient exemplar. One ninth-century hand added monograms Nota, another a note on French events in 841; on fol. 43 stands a students' song saec. XII–XIII.
