Wien, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, Cod. lat. 522 is a middle ninth-century manuscript and, with 206 folios measuring approximately 228 x 160 mm (189 x 120 mm), a thick tome. The text is written on 20-21 lines, which have been drawn by drypoint from the centre of an opened quire. Vertical slits are found on the inner bifolia of the quires. There is no visible loss of leafs, resulting in a very regular collation: 1-88 98 (2 folios numbered 70) 10-238 248 (2 folios numbered 189) 24-268. Throughout the manuscript, some verso sides of folios are blank (fols 3v, 7v, 45v, 118v, 138v, 205v, as well as 1r and 206r-v), apparently without loss of text. Some of the quires have quire signatures, i.c. I (fol. 8v), again, seemingly, I (fol. 79v), and XIII(103v), XIIII (111v), XXI (167v). Traces of quire signatures are found on 95v, 119v, 127v, 151v, 175v. Modern foliation numbering in Arabic numerals and lead pencil.
It was written by several, similar hands in Caroline minuscule, with red rubrics throughout as well as coloured-in letters in green, red, and yellow. The script belongs to saec. IX⅔, according to Kéry and Mordek, probably during the reign of archbishop Liuphram (836-859) according to Bischoff. The manuscript's origin is from Salzburg, according to the abovementioned authors, and more specifically St. Peter’s Abbey according to its online catalogue. It probably remained there in the Domkapitelbibliothek until 1806 when it was transferred to the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek.
Contents
The codex is a large-sized codex and contains mostly canonical material, dominated by both the Collectio CCL capitulorum (a derivative of the Collectio Hibernensis) and Collectio CCCC capitulorum. The rest of the manuscript for the most part comprises either pope Gregory the Great's Concordia or Bede's De natura rerum and (a few chapters of) De ratione temporum. An (Irish) text on gospel meditation and an unknown work titled Uersus de conditore templi conclude the last added textual witnesses in the manuscript.
