Wien, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, Cod. lat. 522 is an early to middle ninth-century manuscript of 120 folios in 1 col. and 17-19 lines (180 x 130 mm (145 x 90 mm)). Its codicological composition reads as follows: 15 quires: 15 x IV120, quire signatures in Roman numerals start at I8 until VIIII72, no signatures hereafter; modern foliation numbering in Arabic numerals. It was written by several hands in Caroline minuscule in saec. IX¼ according to Kéry or saec. IX½ according to its online catalogue. Denis previously dated the manuscript to saec. X, which may be considered outdated. While its origin is from the Mondsee Abbey according to Kéry and Mordek, its provenance is so far unknown. The only proof is that it was previously signed as Rec. 3324, and probably therefore transferred from the Mondsee Abbey in 1791 – when it was dissolved by Leopold II – to the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek.
