1r-74r, Usuard of Saint-Germain-des-Prés - Martyrologium

Here recensio A. Added are some auctaria of which some pertain to the dioceses of Orleans and Tours and to a lesser degree Bourges so that the model may stem from a religious institution of these regions; other auctaria are taken from the Martyrologium Hieronymianum. This manuscript was originally part of the “liber capituli” of Saint-Gilles-du-Gard together with the Regula S. Benedicti, today London, British Library, Add. 16979 (see there). This part or the whole manuscript was in the possession of Guy Flammochet, prior of the Dominican convent in Chambéry, according to his 15th-century exlibris on the upper margin of fol. 1r. In 1847, the manuscript was bought by the British Museum via the London bookseller Thomas Rodd (1796–1849) from an unknown clergyman: MARCHEGAY 1854, p. 121; Catalogue of additions 1864, p. 324; JONES 1914, p. 55 sq. with n. 1; BILLANOVICH 1958, p. 110 with n. 1; HOHLER 1972, p. 53 with n. 95; DUFOUR 1976, p. 252 with n. 49; WATSON 1979, 1, p. 48 no 168; LEMAITRE 1980–2020, 2, p. 1307 sq. no 3071, here p. 1308 (“un martyrologe aujourd’hui perdu”); ZIMMERMANN 1981, p. 146; WINZER 1988, p. 103–145, 415 and 419; LEMAITRE 1980–2020, 4, p. 51 no 3071; REMENSNYDER 1995, p. 323; CAHN 1996, 2, p. 63; LEMAITRE 1996, p. 57 n. 81; TISCHLER 2001, p. 324 n. 307; LEMAITRE 2002, p. 67, 70, 75 sq., p. 85 with n. 63, 65 and 67 sq., p. 86 with n. 70 sq., p. 88–90, 93, p. 96 with n. 118, p. 97 with n. 135, p. 98, 103 sq., p. 108 n. 63, p. 108 sq. n. 65, p. 109 n. 67 sq. and 70 sq., p. 110 n. 118 and p. 111 n. 135; LEMAITRE/LE BLÉVEC 2004, p. 124 (with the wrong shelfmark “Add. 16198”); FAVIER/DUFOUR 2005, p. 604 with n. 3; MAZEL 2005, p. 342 with n. 15 and p. 364 with n. 92; GIRAULT e. a. 2007, p. 215; VIRCILLO FRANKLIN 2013, p. 78 n. 24; LEMAITRE 2014, p. 60, p. 73 n. 3, p. 74 sq. 76–78 and 87; PELOUX 2022, p. 235 n. 190.
