Cheltenham, Phillipps Collection, 17849

Content and Script

Kéry p. 30 (following Mordek) refers to it as a "large fragment" of the Sanblasiana: "Cheltenham, Phillipps Collection, 17849, saec. VIIIex Italy; cf. CLA 2², no. 143, pp. 8, 49, 57." Elliot (referring to it as „D3“) describes it as an incomplete copy of the Collectio Sanblasiana saec. VIII from northern Italy, copied by three scribes. Bischoff describes it as Italian "with hands partly under Insular influence"

Modern Ownership

The manuscript was part of the Phillipps collection at Cheltenham and since 1945 has been sold several times; it has been part of the Bodmer Collection in Cologny, the Sammlung Ludwig (shelfmark XIV.1), the collections of the Getty Museum (shelfmark 83.MQ.162), and today is owned by an unknown private collector in Europe (see Elliot, Canon Law p. 115: "As of 2008 the manuscript was up for sale through Dr. Jörn Günther Rare Books (item no. 1 in their catalogue from that year). D3 has since been sold and is now housed in a private European collection, the location of which is currently unknown.")
