Volume / Number: 4 / **46

• Vatican City Italy Biblioteca del Vaticano Lat. 5766 (foll. 25–43, 46–48) [palimpsest old]

Origin uncertain, probably France. Rewritten in the eighth century, apparently in Italy, to copy a text of Cassianus (4.**44). Belonged later to Bobbio. The Turin leaves were presumably removed after the suppression of the monastery in 1803. After their discovery by A. Peyron, they disappeared for many years. They came out of hiding again in the R. Accademia delle Scienze and were then transferred to the Biblioteca Nazionale, where they were destroyed by the fire of 1904.

Script is rather heavy but regular uncial with half-uncial b: uncial E is stiff-backed, q open, S frequently top-heavy; suprascript U is comma-shaped. The ligature NT occurs even in mid-line.

☛Formerly Turin, Biblioteca Nazionale A.II.2.

• Origin: Merovingian MSS, a provisional handlist (Wood 2017)
• Text: MSS with texts available in the Bobbio library during the Lombard period (Zironi, 2004)
