Description
  • Contents: ff. 2r-11r: Quintus Julius Hilarianus, Chronologia sive Libellus de mundi duratione (Chronology or tract on the duration of the world) , beginning: 'Quantocumque tempore, in divinis legibus'. ff. 11r-145v: Fredegarius Scholasticus, Chronica, chronicle about the Merovingian kingdoms from 584 to 642, attributed to an author called 'Fredegar' (imperfect), Book 2 to Book 4. This chronicle is probably the work of several 7th-century chroniclers. The text is preceded by capitula (ff. 11r-12v), beginning (f. 12v): 'Incipit regnum Assiriorum. Primus rex Ninis regnavit annos L'; ending: 'pariter uno die a proceribus eorum et consecratione sacerdotum sublimati sunt in regno'; followed on f. 145v by seven lines of verses partially erased. Parts of Book 4 (chapters 5, 6 and 7) are lacking due to a folio having been cut out between f. 93 and f. 94. Decoration: Added sketch in brown ink of a bearded man, probably Hilarianus (f. 1r). Initials in red and/or brown, some large, some small. Rubrics in red.
