Vaticano, Citta del, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, lat. 1347 is a ninth-century manuscript of 181 folios in 1 col. (260 x 200 mm) containing various canon law materials (most notably the Collectio canonum quadripartita) such as the Collectio Dacheriana, various episcopal epistles and papal decretals. The codicological composition is unknown as yet. No quire signatures were included. It was written by multiple hands, mostly in Caroline minuscule. A few pages are in Beneventan script, which points to its provenance from Southern Italy, probably Monte Cassino in the early 11th century (Kerff/Kéry). It has been in possession of the Vatican library since 1594.
Contents
Manuscript Vat. lat. 1347 is a relatively bulky, middle to late ninth-century codex and contains a wide range of canonical material. Kerff/Mordek have argued the manuscript was copied in Monte Cassino in the early eleventh century, leading to the creation of MS Monte Cassino, Archivio e Biblioteca dell’Abbazia, 541 (ext. 541). Interesting here is that most canonical material has remained the same in the process, with some minor changes, indicating the contents of Vat. lat. 1347 were still relevant a hundred and fifty to two hundred years after its creation.
Vat. lat. 1347 is a well-organized codex, with clear rubrics in Caroline minuscule delineating the long list of canons and helping the reader manage the corpus. Some additional notes: nearly the whole manuscript includes marginal scribbles of various symbols, which probably functioned as reference points for future study and use. Fol. 9v includes an early modern scribal practice of the alphabet. Fol. 135v includes in the far top left corner a small scribble of a cantus: peccata mea domine. Furthermore, from fol.172 onward, the manuscript quality begins to deteriorate due to probable water damage. From fol. 178, this picks up to such a degree that certain parts are difficult to read.
