“The Parker Register does not mention the Sedulius at all, which is perhaps surprising in view of its distinctive appearance, for it could hardly be missed by a cataloguer.” – R. I. Page (1981, pp.9-10)
1575 – The position in the MS of the Sedulius is unknown.
by 1600 – It was placed between the Chronicle and the laws (Thomas James’ Catalog).
by 1705 – It was positioned at the end of the MS. This is how it is ordered today. *Wanley (1705).
“Again at some stage the eighth-century booklet containing Sedulius’ Carmen Paschale was added to the collection, but it cannot be proven when this took place.” – M. B. Parkes (1976, p.151)
