Freiburg, Universitätsibliothek, 8 is a ninth-century (second half) manuscript of 138 folios in 2 cols. with 34 lines (305 x 265 mm (220-230 x 180-195 mm)). Its codicological composition reads as follows: 17 quires, II<sup>4</sup> + 2 x IV<sup>20</sup> + III<sup>26</sup> + 6 x IV<sup>74</sup> + 4 x V<sup>114</sup> + 3 x IV<sup>138</sup>, quire signatures in Roman numerals start at I<sup>12</sup> until XV<sup>130</sup>; modern foliation in Arabic numerals in lead pencil. The manuscript was penned by three hands (A: fols. 1ra-4va; B: 5ra-120rb; C: 120rb-138vb), as well as glossed by Bernold of Constance from fol. 20v onwards and an anonymous cleric who {{Author|Autenrieth}} names ‘Anonymous A’. It was written in Caroline minuscule and originates from the Lake Constance region, most probably from the Cathedral School of Constance. The codex was acquired by the Constance Cathedral library in 1343, where it was bound in Constance fashion in s. XV, and later acquired by the Universitätsbibliothek of Freiburg in 1821.

The manuscript is a medium-sized codex and contains mostly canonical material (''[[Collectio Dionysio-Hadriana]]'' and ''[[Collectio XXX capitulorum (De ratione matrimonii)]]''), as well as a list of Roman provinces (Polemius), the ''Notitia Galliarum'', an epistle of Isidore de Seville, a decretal of Gregory the Great, and Amalarius of Metz's epistle to Charlemagne. The parchment has been kept relatively well, indicating the manuscript was kept in a clean and safe environment. Only some corners or margins of folios have dark spots, pointing to regular wear-and-tear through study and use. It includes clear rubrics on the top of every folio side and in between each text for the ''[[Collectio Dionysio-Hadriana]]'', sometimes in the same ink as the base text or in red.

Freiburg, Universitätsibliothek, 8 is a ninth-century (second half) manuscript of 138 folios in 2 cols. with 34 lines (305 x 265 mm (220-230 x 180-195 mm)). Its codicological composition reads as follows: 17 quires, II4 + 2 x IV20 + III26 + 6 x IV74 + 4 x V114 + 3 x IV138, quire signatures in Roman numerals start at I12 until XV130; modern foliation in Arabic numerals in lead pencil. The manuscript was penned by three hands (A: fols. 1ra-4va; B: 5ra-120rb; C: 120rb-138vb), as well as glossed by Bernold of Constance from fol. 20v onwards and an anonymous cleric who Autenrieth names ‘Anonymous A’. It was written in Caroline minuscule and originates from the Lake Constance region according to Kéry/Mordek/Reynolds, most probably from the Cathedral School of Constance. The codex was acquired by the Constance Cathedral library in 1343, where it was bound in Constance fashion in s. XV, and later acquired by the Universitätsbibliothek of Freiburg in 1821.

Contents

The manuscript is a medium-sized codex and contains mostly canonical material (Collectio Dionysio-Hadriana and Collectio XXX capitulorum), as well as a list of Roman provinces (Polemius), the Notitia Galliarum, an epistle of Isidore de Seville, a decretal of Gregory the Great, and Amalarius of Metz's epistle to Charlemagne. The parchment has been kept relatively well, indicating the manuscript was kept in a clean and safe environment. Only some corners or margins of folios have dark spots, pointing to regular wear-and-tear through study and use. It includes clear rubrics on the top of every folio side and in between each text for the Collectio Dionysio-Hadriana, sometimes in the same ink as the base text or in red.

Fol. 4r of the manuscript, showing the first six canons, as well af the beginning of the seventh, of the Collectio XXX capitulorum

MS Freiburg has probably been used regularly, as its marginalia point out. Various symbols, added authorities, clarifications on particular topics and commentaries next to the base text show a clear interest after its production. Probably even a few hundred years later, as some hands show late Carolinian minuscule training. For example, on fol. 41v a much later hand commented on the contents of the Collectio Dionysio-Hadriana, adding his own sources and interpretations to the conciliar source material. Still, the base text has remained relatively unedited with only a few corrections, which tells us this body of knowledge must have been perceived as authoritative.
