• Possibly written in Brittany
• Certainly glossed by Breton scribes

This copy of Priscian's Institutiones (which, unlike Paris, BnF, Lat. 10290, does not belong to the Irish tradition; cf. Lemoine 1985: 21 and Lemoine 1985b: 61, although see Cinato 2015: 562 for the possible existence of an insular ancestor) contains 25 glosses in Old Breton (in this context, it should be noted that parts of the original MS were replaced by new folios during the tenth century in order to fill textual gaps, as pointed out in Cinato 2015: 561–2; these more recent folios do not contain vernacular glosses). Lemoine (1985: 17–22) has shown that some glosses and readings of Lat. 10290 may have been taken from this MS, at a time when both codices were present in the same library-scriptorium (probably in the early tenth century, perhaps at Chartres). The place of origin of this MS is uncertain: in 1895, Clerval suggested that it was written during the ninth century at Chartres, but he did not provide any evidence to support his view (Clerval 1895: 16). In fact, it is perfectly possible (if not probable) that this MS was written in Brittany (as tentatively suggested in Lemoine 1985b: 61). On account of the presence of few Germanic and Romance glosses in addition to the Old Breton and Latin ones, Fleuriot (1960: 174) suggested that it was written at Redon—an interesting idea, which however is currently impossible to prove.
