Parchment — 19 strips put together in 2 (partial) fols.
Two fragmentary leaves: Fragm. 782b-1 made up of 12 strips and Fragm. 782b-2 made up of 7 strips.
Support: Fragm. 782b-1 made up of 12 strips and Fragm. 782b-2 made up of 7 strips. The strips in Fragm. 782b-2 were put together incorrectly so that the text jumps from one written line to the other. Two additinal strips are also attached to Fragm. 782b-2 which do not belong to the original manuscript.
Layout: Written space: 200-205 × 120-125 mm 8 mm

Ps.-Augustinus, Sermo de decem talentis
Parchment — 1 fol. fols.
The fragment represents one reconstructed partial leaf with two texts: a sermon and a commentary on the gospel of John.
Support: The original leaf was cut in vertical strips used as sewing guards. These were recollected by librarians in the 19th c. and reconstructed to one partial leaf with gold beater’s skin. The strips are, however, incorrectly joint: the first four (looking at the recto) are running one line under the last four.
Layout: Written space: 205-210 × 120-125 mm; one column, 25 lines per page. Line height: 8 mm. Blind ruling (barely visible due to fragmentation).
Script: Early Carolingian minuscule with ligatures: ri (extended left below line), ti, ct, nt, st. Using e-caudata; two forms of a: open (cc-a) and Carolingian a.Rubrications in the same black ink written in Capitalis rustica. Simple three-line high initials (built-up initials), litterae notabiliores) in black ink.
History: The fragments were detached from the binding probably by librarians at the Court library in the 19th c. Stephan Ladislaus Endlicher (librarian from 1828) took specific interest in the fragments and transcribed them in what is now Vienna, ÖNB, Cod. Ser. n. 3960. Since Endlicher reordered parts of the manuscript collection, it is possible that the current shelfmark Frag. 782 (which is a conglomerate of fragments from several originally distinct manuscripts) reflects his interest and not the fact that the fragments served as binding waste in one and the same host volume. Hence it is not possible to establish a Mondsee provenance for Fragm. 782c based on the secured Mondsee origin and provenance of Vienna, ÖNB, Cod. Ser. n. 2065, f. 4 which was till recently preserved under the shelfmark Fragm. 782-1 / 782a.

Parchment — 2 partial fols.
Two fragments used to reinforce the pastedown of a Mondsee binding. The fragment on the left is the upper half of a single folio, the lower half thereof is now as in-situ fragment in Vienna, ÖNB, Cod. 1696. On the same board is pasted also a 12th-century fragment of the Prologue to the Expositio, which was probably added to the original manuscript.
Support: The larger (identified) fragment is the upper half of a leaf, the lower part thereof is used as a pastedown in Cod. 1696 (see fragment below).
Layout: Written space: 153-155 × 115-120 mm
Anoter 12-th-century fragment preservs part of the prologue: "iustitiam. Et sicut parad[isum] ... [elemen] tis consistit". Das Fragment gehört inhaltlich zu den anderen zwei Fragmenten, die als VS in den Cod. 1361 geklebt wurden. Es ist zu vermuten, dass der Prolog zu Expositio in quatuor evangeliorum als eine spätere (12. Jh.) Ergänzung der ursprünglichen Handschrift entstanden ist.
Left fragment In evangelium secundum Matthaeum … [praece] pit et non agnoscebat … — … Locum tempus personam … (The fragment on the right preservs only a few letters. )
Parchment — 2 partial fols.
The fragment serves as a pastedown on the front board of Cod. 1696. It is the lower half of a single folio, the upper half thereof is now as in-situ fragment in Vienna, ÖNB, Cod. 1361.
Layout: Written space: 153-155 × 115-120 mm

Ps.-Hiernymus / Ps.-Gregorius: Expositio IV evangeliorum; De nominibus hebraicis grecis et latinis; De litteris; De ponderibus
Parchment — 3 fols. — 225 × 108 mm
The fragment consists of four leaves detached from Ms. Lat. qu. 931 (probably former pastedowns and flyleaves ?). The first two leaves contain parts from the so-called Expositio quattuor evangeliorum (to Mt 1,1-3,4); the third badly preserved leaf contains fragments from the short excerpts from Eucherius of Lyon Instructiones on explanation of biblical personal and place names (excerpt rubricated 'De litteris') and on weigh measurements (excerpt rubricated 'De ponderibus'). The palaeograhical and codicological similarities between the four leaves and the remaining fragments, described here, suggest they were all part from one book.
Support: The leaves served as binding waste, hence the glue residues and cuts. Fol. 1 was cut vertically - missing lower and inner parts - so that it is about 2/3 of its original size. Current size 225 x 100-108 mm (Winter). Fol. 2 measures 260 x 160 mm. Fol. 3 consists of three pieces which represent about a half of the original leaf
Layout: Written space: 200 × 120 mm Written in 25 long lines.
History: The fragment was detached 1937 from Berlin, Staatsbibl, Ms. Lat. qu. 931 - a 10th-century copy of Ansegisus' Collectio capitularium. This manuscript is held today at the Jagiellonian Library (Biblioteka Jagiellońska) in Kraków.
