Den Haag, Huis van het boek, 10 B 4 is a copy of the Collectio Sancti Mauri, closely related to Paris, BnF, lat. 1451. According to CLA V 1572a it was written in northern France saec. VIII 2/2, even if CLA V 528 had suggested a "lost colophon" would prove a production in the year 800.

Note that CLA V 528 refers

that the Huis van het boek before 2020 was called "Museum Meermanno-Westreenianum".

According to the description by the BnF, the Collectio Sancti Mauri (or "Redaction of Saint-Maur-des-Fossés" of the Dionysiana) is found on fol. 19v-194v. According to Elliot, the materials fol. 31-53 should be seen as a separate collection, an „insert … alien to the original manuscript“.
