Wien, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, Cod. lat. 522 is a middle ninth-century manuscript of 206 folios in 1 col. and 20-21 lines (235 x 160 mm (173-180 x 120 mm)). Its codicological composition is unknown and only a few inconsistent quire signatures were included: I8, I79, and XIII103, XIIII111, XV119, XVI127, and XXI167 – only the topside of the last three mentioned numerals are visible – in Roman numerals in black ink on verso sides. Modern foliation numbering in Arabic numerals and lead pencil. It was written by several hands in Caroline minuscule in saec. IX according to Kéry and Mordek, probably during the reign of archbishop Liuphram (836-859) according to Bischoff. Its older catalogue dated the manuscript to saec. X, which may be considered outdated. The manuscript's origin is from Salzburg according to the abovementioned authors, and more specifically St. Peter’s Abbey according to its online catalogue. It probably remained there in the Domkapitelbibliothek until 1806 when it was transferred to the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek.
