• Würzburg Germany Universitätsbibliothek M. P. Th. F. 45

Written in an Anglo-Saxon centre in Germany, probably in the Würzburg region, and presumably in a nunnery if Abirhilt may be taken as one of the scribes. Belonged to the Würzburg Cathedral Library, where the manuscript bore the numbers ‘CXXXIIII' and '64'.

Script, by several hands, presents a variety of Anglo-Saxon minuscule types: one hand has characteristic, long descenders; the female name 'abirhilt', entered in the upper margin of fol. 71v by the hand of the text, may be the scribe's. An Anglo-Saxon hand saec. VIII–IX entered a note on the mystical jewels on fol. 73, and a contemporary Continental hand showing Insular influence added a list 'subscriptio episcoporum sanctorum'; this last hand also filled in part of the colophons and headings. Old High German glosses scratched in. Various probationes pennae saec. IX and X on the first and last pages, originally left blank.
