Wien, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, Cod. lat. 424 is a middle ninth-century manuscript of 123 folios in 1 col. (255 x 180 mm).

TO BE FINISHED Its collation and quire structure are not 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.
