Origin and Provenance

Written doubtless at Corbie, where apparently the Glossary was compiled; two sister manuscripts of the same huge size, the same number of lines, and in the same script are Paris Lat. 11529 and 11530 (CLA 5.611). The Cambrai volume comes from the cathedral of Cambrai. The volume which contains the Paris fly-leaves was acquired for the Bibliothèque Ste Geneviève in 1725.

Script Commentary

Script is in the main Corbie a-b type described in CLA 5.554, but the end folios of several quires, as in the sister manuscripts Paris Lat. 11529 and 11530, are in Caroline minuscule (foll. 33v, 38v–41v, 57, 57v, 96, 97v, 165v, 174–181v, 188–188v), some folios being in the Maurdramn type. It is noteworthy that the correction on fol. 178 is in a-b script while the text is in Maurdramn and that the two hands alternate on fol. 96.
