Salzburg St. Peter, a.IX.32

From Clavis Canonum

Salzburg, Erzabtei St. Peter, Benediktinerstift, Bibliothek, a. IX. 32.

Also known as the Salzburg Codex, the manuscript contains two canon law collections (see here) plus various excerpts from different sources including Canones Romanorum ad Gallos, capitularies, and various canonical collections.

The codex's assembly and authorship is mysterious and has been the focus of various scholars, as well as the codex's purpose and use. The Salzburg Codex bears a close resemblance to another manuscript, Cologne 120. The Salzburg Codex was created utilizing a variety of authoritative texts, some from Cologne, and others locally.

Besides the canon law materials, penitentials, and various excerpts from Regino of Prüm, the Salzburg Codex also contains a fuparc runic alphabet.
