Roma, Biblioteca Vallicelliana, Tomus XVIII

This manuscript contains the so-called Collectio CCCCLII capitulorum. This collection only exists in this manuscript, and as the capitulation on ff. 136v-143r makes clear, the total of 452 includes the preceding items in the codex. Manuscript has often been read in connection with the Formosus controversy and is usually held (since Fournier) to have been produced in southern Italy c.912-30.

Not digitized.
