parts’, Mostert also suggests that all the elements were produced at Fleury. 55 He divides these parts into ff. 1-2, the partial Lives of Germanus; ff. 3-26, the Collationes of John Cassian; and ff. 27-74, from Eucherius to Gregory the Great, which has an ex libris at f. 60v, added in the twelfth century. A new quire begins at f. 27, and this folio is weathered, suggesting that the Eucherius section circulated at the beginning of a codex for a period of time. The opening folios of other quires are not weathered, which would suggest that the items were kept and read in the order they are in now. The section containing the Caesarian works, ff. 75-150, originated at Fleury and has two ex libris comments, at ff. 150v (lib(er) sancti benedicti floriacensis cenobii; possibly tenth century), and 122v (hic est liber s(an)c(t)i Benedicti; twelfth century). At f. 57v, the marginalia have been cut through, suggested that the pages have been trimmed to fit with the others for the current codex. Similarly, at f. 106v, the marginalia in a thirteenth-century hand have been cut through. 56 This section, containing the Caesarian works, appears comparatively less used than that including the Augustine material. In order to consider the inclusion of Vereor (and the other texts by Caesarius) in this manuscript, it is necessary to list briefly the contents of the entire manuscript: ff. 1-2 [several lines of two mutilated Lives of ‘Germanus of Autun’ (St Germain of Paris), dating from the beginning of the eleventh century] ff. 3-26 John Cassian Collationes XVIII-XXIV ff. 27-29 Eucherius of Lyons 57 f. 29-29v Paulinus of Aquileia 58 Exhortatio ad monachos [PL 50, col. 865] Sententia ad monachos de paenitentia [PL 103, cols. 699-702] ff. 29v-31v Eucherius of Lyons Sententia ad monachos [PL 50, cols. 1207- 1210] ff.31v- 36 Athanasius of Alexandria 59 Liber de observationibus monachorum [PL 103, cols. 665-672] 55 M.
