A copy of the Collectio Vetus Gallica (Mordek's "P2") with an appendix fol. 41r-74v (similar to that in Cod. Stuttgart HB. VI. 113) described in detail by Mordek, Kirchenrecht und Reform pp. 234-237. Fol. 75r-138r seems to contain a glossary, fol. 139v-139v a list of abbreviations.

Mordek argued on basis of the chronicle ending with events of 747 or 749 (and the "barbarian" Latin) that BnF lat. 10588 was (ultimately) copied from a model written in that time; hence, he held, the "süddeutsche Version" of the Vetus Gallica originated in Burgundy before the mid-eighth century.

"sec. IX ca. secondo quarto" (Mirabile)

Literature

"entstanden möglicherweise in Burgund, „kann aber wohl auch aus einer anderen Gegend der Südhälfte Frankreichs stammen" (B. Bischoff in einer brieflichen Mitteilung; anders dagegen W. M. Lindsay, in: Glossaria Latina 5, S. 152: „c. ann. 800, ni fallor, in scriptorio Germanico exaratufs]")."
