Author Lotte Kéry


Earliest copy of the Collectio Sanblasiana, which fills the whole manuscript (fol. 1-143). Base manuscript of Elliot´s transcription.

The manuscript is dated to the first third (von Euw) or the first half (Elliot) of the eighth century.

The „famously misleading entry“ (Elliot) 'SIGIBERTUS SCRIPSIT' does not allow to establish the place of origin. However, it certainly links Cod. 213 to Cod. 212, where the very same phrase is found, and the lost Collectio Teatina manuscript that served as an exemplar of Reg. lat. 1997 (Elliot).

It is from "England, Irland oder Echternach" according to the Cologne homepage. According to Kéry it is from "Northumbria or region on the continent where missionaries from Northumbria worked".
