Einsiedeln, Stiftsbibliothek, Codex 191(277) is a manuscript of the Collectio Quesnelliana written around 800 in north-eastern France according to Bischoff and Mordek.
Description
Einsiedeln Codex 191 is a parchment codex of 232 folios written in excellent (Loew) Caroline minuscle. The most recent catalogue reports several folios being lost, and Maassen suspected the loss of a complete quire.
Kéry, p. 27: saec. VIII-IX, probably Northeastern France or Northwestern Austrasia like Arras, BM, 644, “ein des Königs würdiges Buch” [Bischoff, ‘Die Hofbibliothek Karls des Großen’, Karl der Große, Lebenswerk und Nachleben 2 (Düsseldorf 1965) 42-62, esp. 55]
The codex was at Konstanz saec. XI-XII, where it was annotated by Bernold of Constance and an anonymous reader; cf. CLA 7, no. 874, p. 12 and p. 55; CLA Suppl. p. 58
Maassen, Geschichte p. 167 mentions this codex as "Codex Einsiedlensis mit einem Fragment der Hispana"; this apparently refers to the conciliar canons on pp. 15-45 on which see Maassen, Bibliotheca p. 247.
