Script | Luxeuil Minuscule |
Date | VIII in (701 - 725) |
Origin and Provenance |
Written presumably at Luxeuil, to judge by the script. The manuscript may be identified with the 'vetustissimus codex Remigianus’ (S Remi, Rheims) from which the Benedictines printed the homily on the Ascension. The New Haven (formerly Lucerne) leaf probably preceded the London and Metz leaves in the original order of the manuscript, to judge from the chronological order of the sermons at the beginning of the London part. It is quite possible that New York, Pierpont Morgan Library MS 17, a homiliary of the same type of script and size and of strikingly similar composition, formed the continuation of this manuscript. |
