Talk:Origo Gentis Langobardorum

This is somewhere between a summary and a free translation at present. dab (&#5839;) 16:45, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

This article is not, in fact, a summarization of Origo Gentis Langobardorum, as its page title claims, but a parallel to the history of the Lombards, which already has a Wikipedia article. Hence it is misleading: caveat lector.--Wetman 00:55, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

I have made a bold edit. The 'summary' is now mentioned in the article as 'free translation'. Sechinsic (talk) 21:33, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Suspect manuscript photos
The photos of the manuscripts, one from Berlin and the other from Salerno, do not seem to be manuscripts of the Origo gentis langobardorum. The article itself says that the only three manuscripts are elsewhere. I was able to track down images of two of the actual manuscripts (Modena and Madrid) and neither of these are the ones in the photos. More likely these are manuscripts of Paul the Deacon's History of the Lombards, a much more common text. Someone needs to fix this. Note that fixing this would extend to the Commons where the misattribution seems to have originated. 24.91.105.62 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:14, 29 April 2018 (UTC)


 * the one with pictures is "Cava de' Tirreni, Biblioteca della Badia, 4". "'La Biblioteca Statale del Monumento Nazionale della Badia di Cava (Salerno)'" is the oficcial name of it:) So the description is very accurate. The other one also contains a very accurate description (I mean Ms. Phill. 1886), but it seems to be Historia Langobardorum. --90.154.72.166 (talk) 08:38, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Biblioteca statale del Monumento Nazionale Badia di Cava (formerly Biblioteca statale del Monumento nazionale della Abbazia Benedettina della Ss. Trinità) and La Trinità della Cava, the abbey. "Badia" is "Abbazia". :Cava de' Tirreni is near Salerno and in Salerno (the city and province). see map

 * http://www.leges.uni-koeln.de/en/mss/codices/cava-dei-tirreni-bdb-4/ (description of the codex).
 * http://www.leges.uni-koeln.de/wp-content/uploads/pdf/auszuege_mordek/mordek_cava-dei-tirreni-bdb-4.pdf (more detailed description, it mentions the picture:))

 * Regarding the other codex (without pictures): the text looks like Historia Langobardorum. It is said to be "Ms. Phil. 1886".
 * description of Ms. Phill. 1886 in the catalogue.
 * description in Bethmann and Waitz, MGH SRL, 79. In Waitz' classification it is G6.
 * THis is about Ms. Phill. 1886. I didn't check if the text in the picture is what is described.--90.154.72.166 (talk) 21:15, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
