Abstract
The manuscript described and analyzed in this study (copy code number: Paris, IRHT, CP 438) belongs to private collectors. It is a twelfth-century legendary, coming from the Abbey of Saint Pantaleon in Cologne. Noticed at the time of its sale at Sotheby's in 2013 for the quality of its decoration and its good state of conservation, the manuscript is especially remarkable for its particular composition, result of successive reworkings. It also contains numerous texts that were still recent at the time they were copied, including rare pieces such as the Vita Heriberti by Rupert of Deutz. One also notes the presence of several unpublished documents, including a very enlightening letter on the suspicious death of Bishop Frederick of Liege († 1121).
