Abstract

We present a number of previously unpublished parchments from a luxurious Latin codex in rustic capital script dating from the early5th century. It most probably contained Ulpian'sAd edictum, as a few textual correspondences seem to show. The leaves of the manuscript have been cut and the strips reused to reinforce the binding of a papyrus codex containing a patristic work - the De adoratione et cultu in spiritu et veritate by Cyril of Alexandria - now distributed between Dublin, London, Paris and Vienna. After a brief introduction on the reuse of manuscripts in Late Antiquity, the Parisian and Viennese fragments were shown to belong to the same original manuscript, and a first edition of the text was proposed.
