München, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Clm 6245 is a late ninth to late tenth-century composite manuscript of 124 folios in 1 col. (fols. 1r-30v, 57r-78v, and 142v) and 2 cols. (fols. 31r-56v and 79r-124r) (250 x 210 mm) and made of parchment. Its codicological composition reads as follows: 21 quires, divided in two independent parts (part I: fols. 1-78; part II: fols. 79-124): I2 + IV10 + II14 + 2 x IV30; I32 + 3 x IV56; (III – 2)60 + 2 x (II – 1)66 + I68 + (II – 1)71 + (III + [I – 1])78; (IV – 1)85 + 4 x IV117 + (IV – 1)124; quires signatures start at I85 until V117, with signature III missing. Modern folio numbering in Arabic numerals are found on the recto side of each folio in a modern hand. Part I was written by two main hands, with various later additions by different hands, all in Caroline minuscule. Part II was written in one hand in Caroline minuscule according to Bischoff. The manuscript's origins can be traced to Freising according to Glauche and Reynolds, and its provenance is from the Cathedral Chapter of Freising based on the bookplate included in its front cover and its Ottonian binding.
Contents
München Clm 6245 is a medium-sized codex and contains almost exclusively canonical material,
TO FINISH with some small relevant encyclopedic additions of Isidore de Seville's work and a short work on penance. The known canonical material is dominated by both the abbreviated Collectio Dionysio-Hadriana and Pseudo-Remedius of Chur, Collectio canonum. Other canonical works include excerpts of the Epitome Hispana and the Collectio XXX capitulorum (De ratione matrimonii). However, most importantly, the manuscript contains a large unknown canonical collection (fols. 40r-104v), in which the last mentioned collectio was included. The unknown collection has yet to be studied. The codex's penitential material includes the Paenitentiale Theodori. The rest of the handwritten work is made up of various capitularies (such as the Frisingensia and 'for the Jews'), epistles, decretals, excerpts of various works (Regino of Prüm), a priest's oath, an homiliary, Leo III's oath of purification for Charlemagne, and various canons of a multitude of councils. It furthermore includes a substantial corpus of unidentified works, which preliminarily can be said to be relevant to canon law.
TO FINISH The codex has been preserved relatively well and was made of high quality parchment. While it is not the most decorative work apart from the first folio, it contains clear red rubrics introducing each segment of text, and was well mapped out for the writing process. The manuscript contains only few marginalia, mostly explanatory, some of which were made in distinct dark ink that pierced each folio. Nor were many corrections made. The work, therefore, give the impression to have been relatively 'untouched' and seems to have been tucked away from prying eyes.
