This article on Bamberg, Staatsbibliothek, Msc.Can.4 is a stub.
The composite manuscript contains the Constitum Constantini in part I (Italian, ca. 1000) and Pseudoisidore in part II (Italian, early eleventh century); later hands (saec. XI2/4 or XI3/4) have made additions on fol. 146v-149r. If these additions are Italian too, the codex cannot have been gifted to Bamberg by Henry II as is commonly assumed.
According to a marginal note fol. 17r (saec. XI, partly damaged), the Pseudoisidore part was bought by a bishop named Anselm: Istum librum sibi adquisiuit Anselmus episcopus. Hoffmann tought it possible that this referred to Anselm I or II of Lucca or Anselm II of Aosta.
