Munich | Clm 10383a. This seventeeth century copy is thought
by the latest editor E. Assmann (Teubner, 1935) to be a copy of a French
ms. of the 10th century from the Benedictine abbey of Saint-Bénigne at
Dijon.
The manuscript was known to P. Pithoeus and Sirmond, and was used by Salmasius for his editio princeps, but was then lost or forgotten. It was then used by E. Woelfflin in 1853. |

The text was first printed by Salmasius (Claude de Saumaise) at Leiden in 1638, together with Florus. Subsequent editions relied on the text of Salmasius edition of 1655.
