The (Early) Lorsch scriptorium
47
Since the second catalogue in Pal. lat 1877 exhibits the section
in the erroneous form without correction of the error, we may
assume that the official catalogue was the first (not the se-
cond) catalogue in Pal. lat. 1877.
D. Title. Adalung's scribes began the text on fol. 2r
and assigned fol. V (i. e. the inside of the fly-leaf or rather
cover) to the title. In the present numeration of the leaves
this page is sometimes so numbered; but sometimes the nu-
meration of the leaves does not begin till the next page, and
this page must then be described as the verso of the fly-leaf
(feuille de garde) not of ' fol. 1'. Here are statistics (Most
MSS. have lost this leaf):
57 (leaf lost), 169 (title in black on fol. lv), 172 (leaf lost),
175 (title in black on fol. lv), 177 (none), 178 (none, or.leaf
lost), 188 (none), 195 (leaf lost), 198 (title on fol. V), 200 (index
on fol. lv), 201 (title in red on fol. P), 202 (leaf lost? index
on fol. lr), 220 (picture of Our Lord on verso of fly-leaf), 236
(leaf lost?), 241 (Vita and title on fol P), 243 (leaf lost), 245
(leaf lost), 246 (title in red on fol. P), 249 (on fol. P there is
an ' ex libris ' entry, and it is possible that the title has been
erased), 266 (leaf lost), 276 (none), 284 (title in black on verso
of flly-leaf), 285 (none), 290 I (title in black on verso of fly-
leaf), 485 (leaf lost), 814 (none), 822 (leaf lost), 829 (title in
red and black on verso of fly-leaf), 833 (leaf lost), 920 (con-
temporary ' ex libris ' entry in rustic capitals on fol. P), 966
(the text begins on fol. P), 1341 (fol. P contains Theotroch's
report on the Fulda Mass; see above), 1547 (the text begins
on fol. P), 1578 (title in red and black on fol. P), 1588 (leaf
lost), 1719 (the text begins on verso), 1746 (leaf lost), 1753
(leaf lost), 1773 (leaf removed presumably when foil. 1-21 —
a treatise written on a smaller size of leaves — were prefixed
to the original work), 1877 (none).
E. Explicit. Normally Explicit. (Presumably the Finit
of 822, etc.; comes from the exemplar).
F. Require. Either R or r, with stroke through the
limb, e. g. 814, 966.
