| Notes |
Bischoff (Kat. §805), who confidently ascribed this MS to Brittany, described it as the 'Rest eines viel größeren Corpus'. It contains a few interlinear glosses (some of which are in Old Breton), and the plainly Breton name Iunhoiar\n/—probably the scribe's name—occurs at fol. 20r (cf. Lemoine 2001: 262). As pointed out by Meeder, pp. 184–356 of the famous Codex Bigotianus (Paris, BnF, Lat. 3182) are 'virtually identical to the contents of Cambrai 625' (Meeder 2009: 184, n. 38); indeed, some of the contents of the former may have been copied from a collection very close to the latter. It should be noted that Meeder (ibid.) also states that Cambrai 625 was probably written at Cambrai, a view that may be based on the opinion expressed by Mordek (1995: 93), who attributes this MS to 'Nordfrankreich.' In view of the above-mentioned presence of a Breton name at fol. 20r, a Breton origin seems somewhat more likely, but of course we cannot exclude that this MS was written by a Breton scribe working in a Northern Frankish scriptorium around the end of the ninth century (indeed, note that this MS is labelled as 'non-Breton' in Flechner 2008: 42, n. 69). |
