22ra-349vc, Sine Auctore - Liber glossarum

Link to digitization: here.
Here the beginning (letter A) and end (letter X) incomplete, eventually also the section of letter P; belonging to the second family (“Klasse des cod. Palatinus”). Written by several (according to Metzger five) hands, which are still partially influenced by the Visigothic minuscule, which confirms for Septimania a relatively early date. The manuscript is perhaps mentioned in the Lorsch catalogue of ca. 850/860 (?) as “Liber grandis glosarum ex dictis diversorum coadunatus in uno codice”, thus came from Septimania to Lorsch, which is also confirmed by the Rhineland neums (pen probes) on fol. 136v. With the Lorsch library, the manuscript came first into the Heidelberg University Library (Palatina), then 1622/1623 to the Vatican Library: MAI 1834, p. 553–600; MAI 1835, p. 549–586 and 588–596; WILMANNS 1868, p. 408; WILMANNS 1869, p. 363 sq.; BECKER 1885, p. 113 no 37 (no 490); GOETZ 1892, p.
