New codices (re-)discovered

By Dominik | 2013-06-13

During our research for the Bibliotheca legum we were able to detect a fragment of the Lex Salica in the State Library of Bamberg, which has not been acknowledged so far. Additionally, also a previously unnoticed capitulary was found in the manuscript Berlin, Staatsbibliothek – Preußischer Kulturbesitz, Savigny 1. It was even not covered by Mordek in his Bibliotheca (1995).
