Gotha, Forschungsbibliothek, Memb. I 84 is a huge collection of diverse capitulary and Roman law texts. After a loss of 17 folios, it still contains 397 folios (40 x 30 cm). It is similar to Città del Vaticano, BAV, Pal. lat. 583 and may draw on the same exemplar. The first part, which contains Ansegis, bears striking similarities to the fragments in München, BSB, Clm 29555/1.
