HISTORY: Three detached bifolia, destroyed by allied bombing in World War II, from an early 9c volume of glossaries which is now dispersed; these leaves contained parts of the "Erfurt 2/Werden B" glossary, parts of the "Glossae Nominum" ("Werden C"), and parts of the unique "Werden K glossary (for a full description of the make-up, history, and contents of the glossary, see the description of 484). Knowledge of the structure of the leaves depends on Steinmeyer 1889: 242-51, the only first-hand description of them; knowledge of the contents depends on Steinmeyer's partial transcription and the more complete ones of Gallee 1894: 337-43, 350-52, 360-64, and of P. Wessner in Goetz 1923: 161-63, supplemented by photos of parts off. 1 v and 5v published by Gallee 1895, republished by Bischoff et al. 1988. The photos show that the handwriting and format are the same as those of the other fragments from this dispersed manuscript and the contents fit exactly into the ensemble that may be reconstructed from the remaining fragments (see 484).
