Toulouse, BM, 364
Toulouse, BM, 364 (olim I. 63; "Cod. Tolos. B 63" in Maassen) and Paris, BnF, lat. 8901 are a copy of the Collectio Albigensis written before 666/667. According to Loew, Albi, BM, 2 was a faithful copy of this manuscript; hence the subscriptio preserved there (on fol. 17r) actually refers to the making of the Toulouse manuscript: it was written by a certain Perpetuus at the request of Bishop Dido of Albi (CLA VI 836). As Dido is not attested otherwise, the date is disputed. Maassen, based on the reference to King Childeric in the subscriptio, dated it to 673, the year he (wrongly) assumed Childerich II died. Turner tought a date between 626 and 666 most likely while Ourliac assumed the mansucript was written ca. 600.
The Toulouse manuscript (incomplete at the beginning and the end) today has 107 folios and contains the Albigensis from the Council of Gangres (fol. 1-2) to a letter of Leo I (JK 318) and "capitula sancti Augustini" apparently ending on fol. 107.
