• Chartres France Bibliothèque Municipale MS 40 (2) (now lost)

Written doubtless in France. The manuscript was early in a centre with Spanish connections, as the omission marks suggest. Provenance Fleury: several ninth-century marginal inscriptions in capital, e.g. 'hic est liber sancti BENEDICTI ABBATI FLORIACENSI MONASTERII' (fol. 58). The entry saec. XVIII on fol. 1 reads: 'Ex libris monasterii S. Petri Carnotensis ordinis S. Benedicti congregationis S. Mauri 10. tom. 1.' Another eighteenth-century hand added: 'Ce livre a este apporte de St. Benoist sur Loyre et apparemment des le temps que Ragenfredus (bishop of Chartres, †ca. 960) remit icy les moynes.' Perished in the war in 1944.

Script is uncial of a late type, by several hands: Ꝺ has a tall ascender, ending in a horizontal hair-line; T with a loop to the left is used up to fol. 56. Marginalia by several pre-Caroline hands, one using the Corbie a (fol. 94v), another the Corbie b. Notae Tironianae on fol. 149v.
