114 michaEla schullEr-JuckEs *** 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 45 For scribes from Breton, see Alison Stones: Review of Jean-Luc Deuffic, Notes de bib- liologie: Livres d´heures et manuscrits du Moyen Âge identifiés (XIVe‒XVIe siècles).
