Connection with Brittany
Notes

According to Bischoff (Kat. §4959) these folios were written in Brittany, on account of their script. This view seems plausible, but it may only be confirmed through a detailed palaeographical assessment. Regardless of the manuscript's origin, it is worth mentioning that some scholia on Boethius's De Hebdomadibus, added (perhaps in tenth- or eleventh-century Corbie?) on fol. 116r, contain the following gloss: Ebdo per b 'concipio', per p epdomamada [sic] significat 'tempus'. Similar glosses can be found elsewhere in the context of Boethian scholia (e.g. Paris, BnF, Lat. 12957, fol. 12r); moreover, in some MSS the orthography epdomada (with p instead of b) for the word meaning 'week' has significant Irish and Breton affiliations (cf. Bisagni 2020a: 37–47, esp. n. 110).
