Short Description
The Vienna Hispana Codex is an early canon manuscript which originated ca. 800 in eastern France. It has served as an important source both for successive manuscripts as well as for those doing research into the history of the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages. It became a part of the Vienna Palatine Library in 1665 and continues to reside in the Austrian capital today.
Vienna Hispana Codex
The Vienna Hispana Codex was presumably written in eastern France near the Rhineland, judging by the script. This canon manuscript is textually aligned to that written in 788 for Bishop Rachio of Strasbourg and lost by fire in 1870 (C.L.A., VI. 835). As such, it has been an early and important source for similar texts and for historians interested in the medieval church. An additional indicator of its age is the beautiful Carolingian Miniscule in which it was written. Bound in 1527 at the expense of Johannes Marquardus (cf. fol. I). It bore the number 281 in the Ambras collection which was incorporated in the Vienna Palatine Library in 1665.
