Capitularia - Edition of the Frankish Capitularies

New manuscript pages

The final addition to Capitularia in 2024 sees the publication of seven manuscript pages, several of which are featuring historical or current links to the area of Lake Constance:

  • Sankt Gallen, Stiftsbibliothek, 733
  • Sankt Gallen, Stiftsbibliothek, 914
  • Sankt Gallen, Stiftsbibliothek, 942
  • Sankt Gallen, Stiftsbibliothek, 1394
  • Sankt Paul im Lavanttal, Stiftsbibliothek, 5/1
  • München, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Lat. 14508
  • Oxford, Bodleian Library, Hatton 42
  • Besides the unique transmission of BK 89, the new transcriptions in Sankt Gallen 733 include an early collection of Charlemagne’s capitularies that appears to have been used repeatedly in several later, and much bigger Italian capitulary collections.

    Furthermore, new transcriptions have been added to the following manuscript pages, providing all extant copies of a set of extracts from the 845/846 Meaux-Paris councils acts (= BK 293), with this set having been appended to several copies of BK 257:

  • Den Haag, Museum Meermanno – Huis van het boek, 10 D 2
  • Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, Lat. 1567
  • Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, Lat. 4638
  • Vatican, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Vat. Lat. 4982
