• Berlin Germany Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, Preußischer Kulturbesitz Hamilton Lat. fol. 132

Written presumably at Corbie. Bought with the Hamilton collection by the Berlin Royal Library in 1883.

Script, by several hands, is pre-Caroline minuscule of a French type called a-b from its distinguishing letters (for the list of manuscripts in this type see CLA 6, p. xxv f.; see also 5.554 for a fuller description of the script). Many passages erased and rewritten in Caroline minuscule saec. IX¹ at the same time that many leaves were added. Notae Tironianae occur, e.g. on foll. 130, 185v. An eleventh-century hand entered a catalogue on fol. 254, originally left blank. The names of the Greek letters were added in barbarous Latin on fol. 175v.
