On fol. Ir from a 18th-century hand: “Ex Libris Venerabilis Capituli Ecclesiae Albiensis” (the same as in Berlin, Staatsbibliothek Preußischer Kulturbesitz, Hamilton 31, fol. Ir). Today mutilated between fol. 41v and 42r, where the text jumps from ch. 12 (expl.: “… sed imminentes passiones tolerare”) to ch. 14 (inc.: “excessus oris et operis ...”) and uncomplete ending with ch. 142 (expl.: “… scilicet ut eis compatiendo “). The fol. 14r–17r et 98r–113v are restored in the 11th century: Catalogue général des manuscrits 1849, p. 489 (“Acta concilii Aquisgranensis ... IXe siècle”); WERMINGHOFF 1899, p. 480 (“s. IX.–XII.”); WERMINGHOFF 1901a, p. 12; WERMINGHOFF 1906, p. 310 no 2 (“saec. IX.–XII.”); LESNE 1938, p. 500 with n. 2 (“IXe siècle”); SCHIEFFER 1976, p. 250 n. 106 and 108 (“9. Jh.”); BROMMER 1984b, p. 229 (“s. IX/X ... Schriftheimat: Südfrankreich; Bibliotheksheimat: Albi”); MORDEK 1995a, p. 1046 (“9. Jh.”); LEMAITRE 1996, p. 52 n. 9; BISCHOFF 1998, p. 10 (“Bl. 14–113: X. Jh., 1. Hälfte”); DESACHY 2007a, p. 136; DESACHY 2007c, p. 56–59 (wrongly “fol. 18–113”) with 4 figures (fol. 68r, 86v, detail, 74r, detail and 74r, detail), here p. 56 (“IXe–XIe siècle ... Albi”) [MATTHIEU DESACHY/JEAN-LOUIS BIGET]; DESACHY e. a. 2007, p. XXI; GAUTIER DALCHE 2007, p. 20; PERICARD 2016, p. 75 with n. 11.
