• Certainly not written in Brittany

There is no indication to suggest that this MS was written in Brittany. In all likelihood, Deuffic (PMSB 29) included it in his list on account of the important historical excerpts at fols 135r–136v, concerning military events in eastern Brittany and Nantes in AD 843. Indeed, even if this MS was not written in Brittany, these texts are of great interest for early medieval Breton history. Vezin (1974: 93) pointed out that the script of this MS closely resembles that of Angers, BM, 175 (167), written at the abbey of Saint-Serge in Angers; it is therefore probable that Angers 817 was likewise written there.
