2. Let us now discuss the manuscripts, and first of all those that contain the entire collection of fragments.

1. Codex Parisinus Armamentarii lat. 483 Paris Manuscript of the Arsenal Library, Latin 483 (448 T. L.), parchment, 9th century Cf. H. Martin, Catal. des Mss de la Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal I (1885) 332 sqq.; M. Schiktanz, Die Hilarius-Fragments (1905) 22 sqq.; L. Delisle, L'ancien manuscrit de Saint Hilaire n. 483 de la bibliothèque de l'Arsenal (Bibliothèque de l'Ecole des Chartes LXXI [1910] 299—304); Studien I 7 sqq.. It comprises 115 folios, 308 mm long and 235 mm wide. We have represented two pages, depicted by light, in Studien I. The book, neatly written in the characters proper to the Carolingian age, seems to have belonged to a monastery in the regions of Gaul situated toward the north or the east. For the registers of the deceased, which pertain to several monasteries of those regions, were added at the end of the codex by a hand of the 13th century. The codex, which was unknown to the previous editors of the Collectanea, is first found mentioned in a catalog that Bartholomaeus Mercier, head of the Abbey of Saint-Léger, compiled in 1778 of the library of the castle of Maffliers (Seine et Oise), belonging to a certain Baron de Heiss. His words are these: Parchment codex written in the 10th century in Lombardic characters in folio; it contains: 1. Cassian's 7 books On the Incarnation of the Lord against Nestorius, 2. St. Athanasius's book to Epitectus (sic) on the Catholic faith, 3. St. Hilary
