La Rochelle, BM, 387 is a codex of 95 folios (300x125 mm) written saec. X. It contains Hilary of Poitiers' De synodis on fol. 2r-20v, Vigilius' Contra Eutychetem on fol. 20v-53r, and various letters on fol. 53r-95v (including letters of Leo the Great, Hilary of Poitiers, and Pope Nicholas I). The first letters follow the order of the letter section at the beginning of Rusticus' Latin version of the Chalcedonian acts (even though the letter of Peter of Ravenna to Eutyches [ACO II,3,1, n. 3] is put before the collection and then repeated). With Rusticus, they also share the letters' rubrics.
Scholarship
The manuscript apparently was unknown to Maassen, Kaltenbrunner, Schwartz, Gundlach, Gassó/Batlle, and Hoskins.
According to Perels, La Rochelle, BM, 387 and Reg. lat. 566 likely were copied from the same exemplar of a collection of letters written to Archbishop Ado of Vienne (the Collectio Adonis).
As for Hilary's De synodis, according to Durst La Rochelle, BM, 387 (his R) is the oldest extant copy of a separate transmission of the work (p. 266). R belongs in his ψ family; these manuscripts often lack an incipit and in the expliicit refer to Hilary's work as Contra omnes hereses (pp. 270-271).
