• Paris France Bibliothèque Nationale de France Lat. 9561

Written either in England or by an English scribe on the Continent, perhaps at St Bertin, where the manuscript was found in the fourteenth century: the entry 'de libraria sancti Bertini' saec. XIV is found in the lower margin of fol. 1. First catalogued at the Bibliothèque Nationale as Suppl. Lat. 254.2 (see fol. 1).

Script is a not very expert and late type of uncial showing Continental and Anglo-Saxon influences: the bow of uncial A is a horizontal ellipse; uncial A, L, and H have fine horizontal serifs; the tail of G is very thin; the left bow of uncial M is closed; the first upright of N is fine, the second wedge-shaped; T has a small loop to the left. At the end of each treatise occurs a pious insertion by the scribe concerning his work and his hope of recompense in Heaven; two words of the note on fol. 14v are in Anglo-Saxon minuscule. Anglo-Saxon glosses saec. X, written with a stylus interlinearly, are seen on foll. 33v–42v; the interlinear transcription on the upper half of fol. 13v is by a twelfth-century hand.
