Image description

This 9th-century manuscript is one of a few early medieval manuscripts that contain a Psalter written entirely in Tironian notes. This is a shorthand that was attributed to Tiro (b. 94, d. 4 BC), a slave of Cicero (b. 106, d. 43 BC), that consisted of 4000 signs in its medieval variant. The manuscript was at Benedictine abbey of Saint-Remi at Rheims and remained there most likely until the abbey was dissolved during the French Revolutionary period.
