Paris, BnF, lat. 1452 is a composite manuscript of 202 folios written in two columns; place and exact date of origin are disputed: 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 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 (Mordek). According to the 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 (fol. 1-152) contains the Breviarium ad inquaerendaum sententias infra and the Collectio Dionysio-Hadriana.
Part 2 contains the Collectio Lugdunensis (fol. 153-196) including a Notitia Galliarum and the Constitutiones Sirmondianae (fol. 188). 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).
