This time, our freshly published manuscript pages are all related to Italy, directly or indirectly. They are:
The one ostensible missfit from Freiburg is in fact one of the four textual witnesses of the famous capitulary collection that was compiled by an anonymous Lupus for count Eberhard of Friuli, a son-in-law of emperor Louis the Pious. Contrary to the usual identification of the compiler with the prominent west Frankish scholar Lupus Servatus (of Ferrières), our colleague Britta Mischke has shown that the compiler was most likely working in Italy, and with Italian capitulary manuscripts (cf. Mischke 2024).
Furthermore, she has studied the other three witnesses of the collection (namely Modena, Archivio Capitolare, O. I. 2; Gotha, Forschungsbibliothek, Memb. I 84; Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Lat. 29555/1) in previous blog posts (Modena, Gotha, Munich). In the meantime we have added the last hitherto still missing capitularies to our transcriptions of the Gotha and Modena manuscripts. Thus the entire transmission of the Lupus collection is now available at Capitularia!
