Description
Abstract (cited)

The view that Karlsruhe Cod. Aug. clxvii was first compiled in Ireland before being brought to the Continent, where, having been for some time in northern France, it was eventually brought to the monastery of Reichenau on Lake Constance, is re-examined here and substantiated through further evidence. It is also suggested here that the monastery of Glendalough is likely to have been the original home of the manuscript. Using additions to the calendar as evidence, a date from about 835 is proposed for its presence in northern France, followed by its arrival in Reichenau before 850, if not already by the early 840s, or earlier.
