Saint-Omer, BM, 194 is a Burchard copy augmented with Seligenstadt (Jasper's S1). Closely related to Reg. lat. 979

Codicology

Prov. Saint-Omer cathedral; Parchment; 129 folios; two columns; French; saec. XI2/2. Modest decoration (two-line initials, rubrics, and canon numbers in red). Physically incomplete the beginning. Quire numbers at the bottom of fol. 6v, 14v, and 22v suggest the manuscript is composed of quateriones and lacks only the first folio. (The CGM reports that the first folio was torn out.)

Nota signs are common. Mostly, they are simply Ns with a stroke above, but there is some variation. Sometimes, they are damaged (and presumably some lost) because of later trimming; see e.g. fol. 89v-90r.

Contents

The Liber decretorum begins with an incomplete capitulatio to the first book on what is now fol. 1. The first quire appears to be a quaternio with the first folio missing.
