Volume / Number: 6 / 781

• Lyon France Bibliothèque Municipale 600 (517)
• Paris France Bibliothèque Nationale de France Nouv. Acq. Lat. 446

Written probably in South France. Was at Lyon by the ninth century as the Florus corrections prove. Belonged to the ‘Comtes de Lyon’. The Paris part, which had been stolen by Libri, was acquired by the Bibliothèque Nationale in 1888. The ownership-mark ‘Est sancti Petri de Perosio’ on fol. 19v is a Libri forgery.

Script is late type of uncial: long hair-line finials of I and descenders are striking; stem of Ꝺ is tall; third stroke of N is often comma-shaped; top of T has a thick pendant to the left. Marginal entries in cursive minuscule: mon(achis), cl(ericis), gen(eraliter), etc.; cf. the ascetical collection in Paris Lat. 14086, foll. 186 ff. (CLA 5.664). An interlinear note in small minuscule saec. VIII on fol. 12; corrections in the hand of Florus Diaconus passim.
