Paris, BnF, lat. 1452 is a composite manuscript of 202 folios written in two columns; saec. IX4/4 Rhône area (Mordek); saec. IX-X Vienne (Bischoff, Katalog), or saec. X (Bischoff, Handschriftenarchiv according to leges.uni-koeln.de)
The first codicological unit (fol. 1-152) contains on fol. 2r a note that the manuscript was given to Le Puy cathedral by Bischof Adélard (fl. 920s). The second unit (fol. 153-202) is an apograph of Berlin, SBPK, Phill. 1745 according to leges.uni-koeln.de. According to the florus.miraheze.org Clavis Flori Lugdunensis both parts were copied from exemplars annotated by Florus of Lyon (the exemplar of the first part being lost today).
Part 1 contains the Breviarium ad inquaerendaum sententias infra, the Collectio Dionysio-Hadriana;
Part 2 contains the Collectio Lugdunensis (fol. 153-196). On fol. 196 there are three letters to Ado of Vienne (d. 874), according to Perels indicating that Ado collected not only letters he received from Pope Nicholas I (Reg. lat. 566) but also those he received from lay rulers (BnF lat. 1452).
