Summary
Single leaf from a manuscript, probably produced in the Loire area, containing Carolingian hymns. The back of the leaf is heavily abraded and contains a selection of excerpts from Horace, approximately in the order they appear in his works. In 1632, the fragment came to Bern as part of the property of Jacques Bongars.
