In conclusion I want to offer a final perspective on the Digestum vetus in Cod. 32
by introducing another Graz codex that forms the second part of this work – the
Digestum novum of Cod. 63, which also bears signs of an interesting production
history. The manuscript was not illuminated but contains spaces for miniatures
and ornamental initials of the same size as Cod. 32; the connection is strengthened
by parallels in format, layout, and binding in gatherings of six. The provenance
also corresponds with the Digestum vetus: both manuscripts show sixteenth-century
bindings from Seckau, where they arrived together as part of the legacy of Ulrich of
Albeck. While the scribe of the Digestum vetus remains anonymous, the colophon
of the Digestum novum states that its copyist was a person called Johannes de Karabes
britannus. This seems to be the same Breton from Carhaix who can be found in my
first example, the Brussels Apparatus of Innocent IV, where he was referred to as
Johannes dictus Ira de Karahes. A further link comes from the aforementioned codex
in Troyes, which was also illuminated by the northern French master, and which
was copied by a Breton called Henricus de Taulayo, Bretonus.45
Is it a coincidence that two of the three manuscripts illuminated by the northern
French master were written by Breton scribes, and that the Digestum novum was
