• St Petersburg Russia Russian National Library Lat. F. v. VI. 3

Written doubtless at Corbie. Came to Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris, in 1638. It was bound together with a collection of Vitae Sanctorum now forming MS F. v. I. 12, CLA 11.1608, 1609, 1610. For later history see CLA 11.1608.

Script by several hands, some recalling Maurdramn minuscule, some (especially on foll. 23v, 24, 25) of a more ordinary minuscule: open a (often resembling two successive c's) more frequent than a; the club-shaped ascenders and the forms of f and s recall Maurdramn style; N is frequent in the minuscule; numerous ligatures including nꞇ and or, even in mid-word. The texts from fol. 38v on, beginning with a poem by the Irishman Israel, seem to be tenth-century additions.
