Abstract

The ms. Paris, BnF, lat. 11748, from the library of Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, was written in Lyons ca. 860-875 by scribes coming from abroad. It contains a collection of 15 prayers and a compilation of 50 hagiographical texts. – 1. Analysis of the collection of prayers attributed to Azarias, Judith, Hester, S. Christopher, S. Augustin, S. Ephrem (4 pieces), S. Gregory, David. – 2. Edition of the fragments of the prayer of Judith (Jdt 9,2-10): the first pages of the ms. are seriously damaged. The Old Latin text is very similar to that of the Bible of Angilram, bishop of Metz (768-791) preserved in ms. Metz, BM 7 (end viii cent.). Probably the cleric of Metz Amalarius made known in Lyons this particular text of Judith as a result of the liturgical and canonical reform developed under the impulse of Chrodegang, bishop of Metz (742-766).
