From Sangallensis 190 to Canisius to Abbé Lespine

Manuscript Périgord 43, in the French National Library, is a volume of notes by Abbé Lespine (1757-1831) towards a Vitae sanctorum Petragorici; on f. 31 r., it contains a list of selected letters by Sidonius according to their addressees, most probably (following the order of the collection) Epp. 3.2, 3.8, 3.10, 4.21, 4.23, 4.25, 5.2, 5.4, 5.7, 5.15, 5.16, 6.12 [sic], 6.1, 6.4, 6.10, 7.1, 7.5, 7.13, 8.10, 8.12, 8.14, 9.7, 9.9 and 9.12. Lespine transcribed it, as he indicates, from Heinrich Canisius’ edition of MS Sankt Gallen 190 (see Manuscripts D105) in Antiquae lectiones, tomus V (Ingolstadt, 1604), pp. 455-56 — an edition which he also excerpted for Ruricius of Limoges and Desiderius of Cahors.
