• Possibly written in Brittany

Mostert (LF BF100) points out that 'some letters remind one of the later English minuscule', and that 'the illumination on f. 31r was made in Brittany or by a Breton.' Moreover, Bischoff (Kat. 548) notes the presence of a 'kuriose insuleske Init[iale]' at fol. 1v. The scholia to Boethius's De consolatione philosophiae may be (according to a suggestion formulated by Courcelle and reported in Pellegrin 1984–5: 161) 'une rédaction abrégée du commentaire de Remi d'Auxerre'; indeed, Pellegrin (1984–5: 162–3) proposed to consider Rome (Città del Vaticano), BAV, Reg.lat.1529 (containing works by Seneca and probably written in a centre of the Loire Valley) as a MS possibly close to Bern 179, and Papahagi (2010: 33–4, n. 76) lists the Bern codex among the copies of the Consolatio possibly or probably produced at Fleury. Overall, the evidence in favour of a Breton origin seems rather weak.

Hagen 1875: 239; LF BF100; Papahagi 2010: 33–4 (n. 76); Pellegrin 1988: 289, 291, 293; Riché 2004: 20.
