Here with the dedication letter to Asper. The Hispano-Catalano-Septimanian calendar on fol. 53v–64v shows already a further developed state-of-the-art in comparison with the copies in Madrid, Biblioteca Nacional de España, Ms. 9605 (olim Ee. 40) and Città del Vaticano, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Reg. lat. 1530 and allows a regional, if not local attribution, if we take into account several additional entries written by the basic hand not in brown, but red ink: fol. 53v on January 31: "Karolus orbis honor orbis et ipse dolor" which is perhaps a Septimanian reaction on Charlemagne’s canonisation of 1165 in the light of the negative image of the southern French Legend of St Gilles; fol. 57v on May 28: “Sancti Wilelmi .”, i. e. William of Toulouse, contestant of a crucial battle against the Sarracens at the Orbieu river near Lagrasse, later burried in Gellone; fol. 58v on July 15 (not 17): Alexius (of Rome) and fol. 63v on November 9: Imago Domini ("Immaginis Salvatoris"), the latter two feasts play an important role in several religious institutions of Septimania and Catalonia. Furthermore, fol. 59v on July 28 shows Nazarius, the patron saint of Carcassonne Cathedral, in a slightly enlarged minuscule. All this speaks for Carcassonne Cathedral or even better the Benedictine Abbey of Sainte Marie Lagrasse in the diocese of Carcassonne. The first and third part of the manuscript are Italian and were bound together with our second part already in the late Middle Ages, as a common 14th-century hand has made additions of texts in all three parts. The manuscript was one of those acquired ca. 1700 by the Siena-born patrician and professor of the Sapienza Francesco Tolomei and came then, bought from him in 1705, via the Roman monastery of San Silvestro on the Quirinal (see clock stamp of this institution on fol. 1r bottom) into the Vatican Library: VAN DE VYVER 1935, p. 148 (“s. XII”); LACOMBE 1939–1955, 2, p. 1200 no 1800 (with the wrong date and geographical area “X–XI et in Germaniae partibus”; also his attribution of the hand that added texts on the empty spaces and folia of the three parts of the manuscript on fol. 35–85 to a “scriba germanicus saec. XIV in.” is wrong); BIGNAMI ODIER 1962, p. 178 n. 4; TESSIER 1994; PASSALACQUA e. a. 2001, p. 503 sq. no 490, here p. 504 (“s. XIin … Germany?”); JULLIEN 2010, p. 428 (with the wrong date “XIIIe”).
