Veterum fragmentorum manuscriptis codicibus detractorum collectio, Tom. II. | This manuscript is a collection of parchment fragments in Latin from different periods. It comprises fourteen separate codicological units; each part, and its content, is signalised by modern annotations in Latin on paper leaves (pp. 1-6, 332-333, 366-367, 392-393, 411, 416-417, 429, 435, 439, 443, 449, 455, 457 and 468c), written by the librarian Ildefons von Arx (1755-1830) who collected in 1822 the different fragments into this single collection. The first codicological unit (pp. 7-327) represents the oldest witness of the Latin Vulgata Gospels, realised in Verona and dated to the 5th c.; the ancient codex was dismembered in 15th c., and many of its pages were used to bound other manuscripts (cf. Turner, The oldest manuscript, p. XXIV; Kaczynski, Greek in the Carolingian Age, p. 130). Pages 336-361 (codicological unit II) contain fragments of the Psalms (beginning with Ps 30:22) in Latin and Greek (transliterated into Latin characters). The LXX is always on the recto, while de Vulgata is always written on the verso and presents initial letters rubricated in red ink. The text of the Psalms is closely related to that of the Bamberg Psalter, with which it also shares some scribal errors. According to Rahlfs (1907), Ra_1395 could be a direct copy of Bamberg Psalter, or both the manuscripts could be descended from the same archetype (cf. Kaczynski,Greek in the Carolingian Age, pp. 86-87). Traces of Oak-gall tincture are visible on some pages of the codicological unit III (Psalmi in uncialibus in Latin): 368-368b, 371-374, 378-379, 390. | Text-type: (?).
