Arras, Bibliothèque municipale, 644 (572) is a copy of the Collectio Quesnelliana.
Loew stressed the similarities to Einsiedeln, Stiftsbibliothek, Codex 191 in content, script, and layout. According to him, both are the product of the same scriptorium.
Kéry p. 27 provides the following description:
- „saec. VIII-IX, probably Northeastern France or Northwestern Austrasia; probably from the same scriptorium as Einsiedeln 191; Prov. Saint-Vaast at Arras; cf. A. Goldbacher, CSEL 58 (1923) LXI; CLA 6, no. 713, p. 4 and p. 42; CLA Suppl. p. 56“.
d'Avray, Papal jurisprudence used Arras 644 (his Qa) as the "base manuscript" for his Quesnelliana texts.
