Late tenth-century systematic collection from Southern Germany, most probably Freising. The collection draws heavily on Regino of Prüm as the formal source for 59 chapters. The Freising origin is made plausible by the detailed analysis provided by John Burden (p. 112–115) who manages to identify manuscripts of possible formal sources for the other chapters which were all available in Freising at the time. Wilfried Hartmann (p. 289) suggested Mainz as a possible alternative place of origin.
The youngest material source is c. 3 of the council of Koblenz (922). Thus the terminus post quem is 922. The age of the two manuscripts and the reception in the Collectio CCXXXIII capitulorum (10th century) suggest a terminus ante quem before 1000.
Manuscripts
Following Kéry, the collection is preserved in two manuscripts: Bamberg, Staatsbibliothek, Msc.Can. 9 (olim P. I. 9), fols. 206r-232r and Wien, ÖNB, Cod. 2198, fols. 88v-123v.
