Abstract

This article argues that the four manuscript fragments Paris, BNF NAL 2525, fol. 41, Paris, BNF NAL 2633, fol. 1-2, Saint-Wandrille, Bibl. abb. Ms. 1 and Paris, BNF NAL 3232 - 26 leaves, altogether - are dispersed remnants of a single book containing the letter collection by Ambrose of Milan; this book was written in the first third of the 9th century in northeastern France, probably in Corbie. The paleography of the leaves, their history, and their contents are discussed. It is demonstrated that the book in question is the oldest (partly) extant member of the French family of transmission of Ambrose’s letters.
