Unidentified, olim Vic, containing Smaragdus of Saint-Mihiel, Collectiones in Epistolas et Evangelia

No manuscript, Smaragdus of Saint-Mihiel - Expositio libri comitis

A copy is mentioned in the testament of bishop Idalguer of Vic of 908, who surely belonged to the Narbonnais clerics who restored the bishopric of Vic in late ninth century: “Smaragdum quodicem .I.”, Testamentum Idalcarii episcopi Vicensis a. 908 (1821), p. 267 l. 23 sq.; Testamentum Idalcarii episcopi Vicensis a. 908 (1980–1996), p. 39 l. 25; Testamentum Idalcarii episcopi Vicensis a. 908 (1999), p. 125 l. 2: VILLANUEVA 1821a, p. 68 and 124 (without identification); DE EGURÉN 1859, p. LXXXVIII; BEER 1894, p. 24 and p. 543 no 553 (with the wrong date “909” and without identification); GUDIOL I CUNILL 1934, p. 3; PÉREZ DE URBEL 1950, p. 528 with n. 1 (without identification); JUNYENT I SUBIRÀ 1963, p. 139 sq. (without identification); PÉREZ DE URBEL 1971, p. 78 with n. 7 (without identification); ORDEIG I MATA 1981, p. 113 with n. 18 and p. 150 n. 18 (“un Esmaragde”); PAGÈS I PARETAS/PLADEVALL I FONT 1984, p. 50 and 53 sq.; PUIG I FERRETÉ e. a. 1998, p. 146 no 812 and p. 170 no 812 (without identification); ZIMMERMANN 2003, 2, p. 1147; DE PUIG I OLIVER 2017–2019, p. 577 (without identification) and p. 592 n. 299. The first who proposed the identification with Smaragdus’s Expositio in Regulam S. Benedicti was LINAGE Y CONDE 1973, 2, p. 796. See also LINAGE Y CONDE 1999, p. 50; ZIMMERMANN 2003, 1, p. 547; VONES 2013, p. 175; MIRANDA Y GARCÍA 2015, p. 32 with 29. Yet ZIMMERMANN 2003, 2, p. 758 identified this manuscript also with the Diadema monachorum (ZIMMERMANN 2003, 1, p. 592 without identification). However, in a bishop’s book collection, it seems to be Smaragdus’s Homiliary on the Epistles and Gospels: ALTÉS I AGUILÓ 1983, p. 37 n. 123; GROS I PUJOL 2006, p. 21 (“un exemplar dels comentaris de l’abat Esmaragde a les lectures bíbliques de la missa”); ALTÉS I AGUILÓ 2012, p. 16; ALTURO I PERUCHO/ALAIX I GIMBERT 2019, p. 129 with n. 5 (“segurament el seu comentari de la missa”) and p. 139 n. 5. An illustration of this testament: GROS I PUJOL 2006, p. 21. This witness is not mentioned by RÄDLE 1974; WITTERS 1975.
