Physical description: ^

Vellum. 122 foil. 295 x 225 mm. 22 lines. Written in Caroline minuscule.

History: ^

Obviously written for some Benedictine house¹, but, considering the absence of the Aduentus ss. martyrum Cornelii et Cypriani (March 15) hardly for Saint- Corneille, Compiègne, whence the MS was transferred to the Bibliothèque Nationale in 1802². The fact that the collection includes a Life of St Vodoald (Vodoalus) would make one think rather of the diocese of Soissons. [Quote from Bieler's Introduction, p. 8.]
