Wien, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, Cod. lat. 2198 is a tenth to early eleventh-century manuscript of 123 folios in 1 col. (255 x 180 mm). Its collation and quire structure are not very well known. Some quire signatures in Roman numerals were added, but are inconsistent and unclear. Preliminarily, they read as follows: ? + III23 + III[I]31 + V39 + VI45 + ? + I. VIII55 + II. VIIII57 + III.65 + VI75 + VII. XII81 + XIIII95 + X[V?]I105 + XVI111 + XVI119 + ?; based on these signatures, if they are correct, we can reconstruct the following preliminary collation: ?23 + 2 x IV39 + III45 + ?55 + I57 + IV65 + (III – 1)70 + (III – 1)75 + 2 x III87 + IV95 + ?105 + III111 + IV119 + II123. Modern foliation in Arabic numerals in lead pencil; fols. 120-121 have been (accidentally?) reversed during that process. The manuscript was written by several hands in Caroline minuscule with some annotations in late Caroline minuscule and early modern hands in humanist minuscule. While its origin is from Southern Germany according to Kéry, more specifically Bayern and probably Freising according to its catalogue, Hoffmann, and Mordek, its provenance is so far unknown.

Contents

The manuscript is a medium-sized codex and contains some canonical material (the Collectio XXX capitulorum (De ratione matrimonii) and the Council of Nicaea), excerpts of Isidore de Seville, Pomerius, and Boethius (Confessio fidei), a chapter of Gregory the Great's Regula Pastoralis, a commentary on the rite of baptism, Arn of Salzburg's pastoralis qualis, a treatise on fasting, some orations, sermons, and prayers, and the Legend of the Seven Sleepers.
