Gneuss, Handlist of Anglo-Saxon Manuscripts (G. 417)
Alcuin, A selection of his letters and three poems (carm. 48, 45, 40); Dungal, seven Letters ; Letter from Charlemagne to Michael Paleologus : s. ix1, Saint-Denis, prov. England s. x/xi, (prov. York).
Gneuss, Addenda and corrigenda to the Handlist of Anglo-Saxon Manuscripts
An Anglo-Saxon ‘standard alphabet’ (in Caroline script, with Anglo-Saxon letters at the end) and an incomplete Pater noster were added s. x/xi on 87v and 88r. See Fred C. Robinson, ‘Syntactical Glosses in Latin Manuscripts of Anglo-Saxon Provenance’, Speculum 48 (1973), 443–75, at 449. A very similar alphabet, also accompanied by the beginning of the Pater noster, was added s. xii (or s. xi?) on 40v of BL Cotton Vespasian D. xxi; see Handlist 657.
