Notes

This MS, which preserves three Old Breton glosses, is one of several disiecta membra from a single codex that contained a copy of Isidore's Etymologiae. Other sections of the original manuscript survive under the following modern shelfmarks: Hannover, Kestner-Museum, MS 3958; New York, Pierpont Morgan Library, MS G. 28; Paderborn, Erzbischöfliche Akademische Bibliothek, Fragm. 10; Weimar, Thüringisches Hauptstaatsarchiv, Hardenberg-Sammlung. 12a and 14a; Herdringen, Archiv der Freiherrn von Fürstenberg, Fragm. sine numero (see the relevant entries for these MSS in the present Handlist). Most of these fragments contain Old Breton glosses, and Bischoff (Kat. §1424) had no hesitation in ascribing the original codex to Brittany, presumably also on the basis of the palaeographical evidence.
