Zeitschrift für Klassische Philologie, Patristik und lateinische Tradition
In the present article two parchment leaves preserved at the OberösterreichischeLandesbibliothek in Linz (Ms. 642 and 644) are identified as the remnants of a copy of thehomiletic collection De quattuor virtutibus caritatis written at Regensburg in the first third ofthe 9th century under bishop Baturich. It is demonstrated that Baturich himself is likely to haveprocured the book’s exemplar from Fulda. Whereas many copies of coll. IV virt. car. survivefrom the high and the later middle ages, we currently know of only three Carolingian witnesses(the Regensburg book in question; a Fulda book the short fragment of which is now preservedat Marburg; a book mentioned in several old lists from Lorsch), and they all seem to have beenclosely related. As for the structure of coll. IV virt. car., it is argued that the distinction betweena core consisting of texts nr. 1–24 and a supplement consisting of texts nr. 25–28, which wasintroduced in the collection’s first scholarly description by Raymond Étaix, should be abandoned.
