Bern, Burgerbibliothek, Cod. 289 : Collection of texts: Chrodegangus Metensis: Regula Canonicorum; Isidorus: De viris illustribus; Theodulfus Aurelianensis: Capitularium primum; Martinus Bracarensis: Dicta ad Polemium episcopum, etc.; Martyrologium H

A composite manuscript produced in three phases from the end of the eighth century to after the middle of the ninth century. It was likely made in St. Avold near Metz for a chapel of the cathedral chapter. In the first part are gathered texts that were important for the pre- and early-Carolingian period in Metz, including the original version of Chrodegang’s Regula Canonicorum, various homilies, and a version of Theodolf of Orléans’ Capitularia. The second, better known part (from f. 52) contains one of the oldest witnesses to the text of the Martyrologium Hieronymianum. In 1632, the volume entered the collection of Bern from the property of Jacques Bongars.
