Notes

This is in all likelihood a copy of Rome (Città del Vaticano), BAV, Vat.lat.1974 (cf. Lambert 1988: 213–14, 220). The Angers provenance is certain, and in fact this MS was probably also written there (cf. Vezin 1974: 271–3). For more details on the Breton MSS containing glosses to Orosius's Historiae, see the entry concerning Rome (Città del Vaticano), BAV, Reg.lat.296 in the present Handlist.
