Capitularia - Edition of the Frankish Capitularies

New manuscript pages

As a small post-Halloween treat, here are seven manuscript pages, freshly published for the start of November:

  • Hamburg, Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Carl von Ossietzky, theol. 1717
  • Leiden, Bibliotheek der Rijksuniversiteit, BPL 114
  • London, British Library, Cott. Titus A. IV
  • München, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Lat. 4353
  • München, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Lat. 4639
  • München, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Lat. 18583
  • Vatikan, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Reg. Lat. 291
  • Additionally, new transcriptions have been added to the following manuscript pages:

  • Avranches, Bibliothèque municipale, 145
  • Berlin, Staatsbibliothek – Preußischer Kulturbesitz, Savigny 1
  • With Reginensis 291, another partial early modern copy of the lost capitulary collection of Beauvais has been made available. We have treated this major collection once or twice in blog posts already. The new page complements the previously published partial transcriptions from that collection in Reginensis 980, Vaticanus 4982, Parisinus 1567 and Vallicellianus C. 16.

    Besides a whole raft of capitularies from the time of Charles the Bald, Reginensis 291 also contains BK 7 from Merovingian times, of which another transcription is present in Avranches 145. And from our ongoing work of transcribing Charlemagne’s capitularies, both Avranches 145 and Berlin Savigny 1 offer, amongst other pieces, copies of a very popular pair of capitularies from 803, namely BK 39 and BK 40.
