A different hand, perhaps of the 10th century, writes on the last page of the manuscript (fol. 126v): Gotlenus monachus [scripsit?] (Bischoff). Earlier readings for this name in the Catalogue général des manuscrits des bibliothèques publiques de France include Goilenus and an expanded form, Gosselenus.
