General category: Continental manuscripts
- s. x
Collection of Carolingian verse, in two parts (1-80 + 81-150).
- s. ix1/4
Early ninth-century copy of Boethius’ De consolatione philosophiae, produced in the Loire region, with glosses added at various periods. The earliest of these are broadly contemporary with the manuscript and were probably added on the continent. At the end of the ninth century (or possibly at the beginning of the next), an insular hand provided the majority of the Latin glosses as well as a Brittonic – Welsh, Cornish or Breton – one (ud rocashaas). A link with the Welshman Asser, author of King Alfred's vita, has been suggested, especially because of William of Malmesbury’s account that Asser helped Alfred with his translation of the Consolatio. Another, later stage in the glossing of the manuscript took place in England (Glastonbury?) during the tenth century.
- s. ix
- Dunstan
Manuscript containing a copy of Augustine’s De trinitate and preserving a number of palimpsests, including a computus fragment with Latin and Irish glosses.
- s. x–xi
Computus fragment, containing excerpts from the Calculus of Victorius of Acquitaine and some Argumenta attributed to Dionysius Exiguus on the determination of Easter. It has been suggested that it originally belonged with another fragment, now in Milan, Biblioteca Ambrosiana, MS L 22 sup (ff. 146-147), and a flyleaf in Nancy, Bibliothèque municipale, MS 317 (356).
- s. viii/ix (?)
Manuscript described by Tommaso Mari as “a handbook of liberal arts designed by Lawrence Archbishop of Amalfi, formerly a monk at Montecassino, thereafter a teacher in Florence and Rome, where he died in about 1049”.
- s. xi
Distinct manuscript section described by Tommaso Mari as a “[codicologically] autonomous section, written by a different scribe from the rest of the MS and preserving some grammatical texts generally attributed to insular authors, such as Smaragdus’ Liber in partibus Donati [...] and part of the compilation entitled Pauca de barbarismo [...]”, as well as a text of Consentius’ De barbarismis et metaplasmis.
- s. xi
Manuscript miscellany produced for Baldo, teacher of the cathedral school in Salzburg, probably in the middle of the ninth century, during the episcopacy of Liuphramm. It contains mostly theological treatises, including Adomnán’s De locis sanctis and several of Alcuin’s writings.
- s. ix
A copy of the Pauline epistles, with ample commentary supplied in the margins.

A fragment (2 folia) of a copy of Ezekiel from around AD 800, written in Irish minuscule, with marginal and interlinear glosses that are based an epitome of Gregory the Great’s Homilies on Ezekiel. The glosses have been described as a precursor to the Glossa ordinaria.
