Notes

Although there is no clear indication that this MS was written in a Breton scriptorium, it may well have been copied from a Breton exemplar (or, alternatively, its contents may ultimately derive from a Breton archetype), as suggested by the single Old Breton gloss to Lat. trigona occurring at fol. 4r (in the right margin): tricorioc. Indeed, this same gloss occurs also in Bern, Burgerbibliothek, MS 160 and Leiden, Bibliotheek der Rijksuniversiteit, MS Voss. Lat. F 13 (cf. Lambert 1988: 214, where it is correctly pointed out that 'on peut s'attendre [...] à retrouver des gloses bretonnes dans des manuscrits tardifs non bretons, qui ont pu avoir pour modèle des manuscrits bretons'). For more details on the Breton MSS containing glosses to Orosius's Historiae, see the entry for Rome (Città del Vaticano), BAV, Reg.lat.296 in the present Handlist.
