TO BE FINISHED The manuscript is a medium-sized codex and contains mostly canonical material. Most prominently, the ''[[Collectio II librorum/VIII partium]]'' takes up about half of the folios, followed by an unknown 'collection' (?) of various patristic excerpts (Augustine, Jerome, Isidore, Gregory the Great, and Seneca among others) and some conciliar material (including Halitgar of Cambrai and the ''[[Collectio XXX capitulorum (De ratione matrimonii)]]''). It also includes the ''Notitia Galliarum'' in between the two books of the first canonical collection. According to {{Author|Mommsen}} the ''Notitia Galliarum'' may have been copied from the manuscript St. Gallen, Stiftsbibliothek, MS 397, based on the ‘germanic type’ of ligatures. This may point to its provenance from the area around St. Gallen.
The manuscript is a very small-sized codex and contains mostly poetic material (in both Latin and Hebrew, by authors such as, among others, Israel the Grammarian, Paul the Deacon, and Alcuin), substituted by various (excerpts of) liturgical and canonical works.

Vatican, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Reg. lat. 421 is a ninth to seventeenth-century composite manuscript of 33 folios in 1 col. (fols. 1r-6r and 7v-33v) and 2 cols. (fol. 7r) (220 x 152 mm) made of both parchment and paper. Its codicological composition is unknown and no quire signatures were included. Arabic numerals are found on the recto side of each folio in (early) modern hand. The codex consists of ten parts and fragments, each with their own dating: part I: fols. 1-4, s. XII; part II: fols. 5-15, s. XIin; part III: fol. 16, s. X-XI; part IV: fols. 17-19, s. XI; part V: fol. 20, s. IX-X (catalogue); part VI: fols. 21-25, s. IX2-3/3 (Kéry), s. IX; part VII: fol. 26, s. XI; part VIII: fols. 27-28, s. IX-X; part IX: fols. 29-32, s. XVII; part X: fol. 33, s. IX-X (catalogue)

TO BE FINISHED It was written by one hand in Caroline minuscule. The manuscript's origins has been argued to either originate from the area (around) of St. Gallen according to Kéry and Reynolds, or from the Swabian region or around Lake Constance according to its catalogue. The codex's provenance is not completely clear, but it is known - at the earliest - to have been in possession of Christina, Queen of Sweden, in 1656, based on various notes by a librarian of Antwerp on fols. 1r-2r (see fol. 2r, for example: Volumen CXVIII Non Petauianum).

Contents

The manuscript is a very small-sized codex and contains mostly poetic material (in both Latin and Hebrew, by authors such as, among others, Israel the Grammarian, Paul the Deacon, and Alcuin), substituted by various (excerpts of) liturgical and canonical works.
