This article identifies and examines a hitherto unknown and unedited early medieval witness of a Carolingian rite of the cold-water ordeal from Septimania discovered by the author in April 2022 while conducting research related to Carolingian textual culture in the southwestern parts of Charlemagne’s empire.Footnote 1 The rite appears on the opening folio (fol. 1r/v) of Rome, Biblioteca Vallicelliana, Ms. C. 3, a Septimanian copy of Claudius of Turin’s Commentary on Matthew (fols. 2r–202v) dated by modern scholars to the first or second quarter of the ninth century.Footnote 2 No one has discussed the opening leaf and its content, written in a ninth-century hand, for almost a century.Footnote 3

On the recto side of the leaf of modern paper preceding it (fol. IIr), an anonymous cataloguer has identified the text as: “RITUS / Probandi homines de furto accusatos / per aquę immersionem AB EUGENIO II PAPA / ut dicitur / institutus, sed postmodum ab aliis Roman. / Pontificibus abolitus.” While the text in question is indeed an unnoticed witness to the cold-water ordeal, it differs from the one falsely attributed to Pope Eugenius II (824–827).Footnote 4 Rather, it is related to the version first published by Georg Waitz in 1876 and again by Karl Zeumer in 1886 based on Vatican City, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Reg. lat. 612, fols. 39r–41r, a late ninth-century manuscript from the region of Tours.Footnote 5 The folio of the rite also has an entry from the early seventeenth century on its upper left corner (fol. 1r), from which the more recent history of the codex emerges and which explains how, from where, and by whom the manuscript was brought to Rome: “Ex Bibliotheca lugdunensi ab hereticis combusta, exemptus codex venditus ab heretico, emptus a P. Joanne a Bosco Caelestino.”Footnote 6 The manuscript was thus in Lyons in the sixteenth century, where it was purchased sometime between 1605 and 1607 by the Celestine monk Jean du Bois. He brought the manuscript with him to Rome, where he died in 1626.

The new witness appears to be older than the Codex Reginensis version from the Tours region in terms of both its script and its language. The Caroline minuscule of Biblioteca Vallicelliana, Ms. C. 3, still shows some reminiscences of older scripts, for example, its broken “st”-ligature, which occurs more frequently in Septimanian scripts, is particularly striking. Also remarkable are the Romanisms in the morphology of the Latin, such as the missing initial consonant “h” (“omines,” “abes,” “oc,” and so on) or the absence of the final consonant “m” in the accusative (“cantet … missa,” “faciat sacerdos aqua benedicta,” and “proiciet … in aqua”), a hint at a nasalising pronunciation of the Latin. Lastly, the repeated weakening of vowels is a sign of an already Romanizing Latin (“proiciet,” “que,” and “obedias”). All these morphological features point to ninth-century Septimania as the origin place of the text.

The dating of the version of the cold-water ritual presented here remains problematic. There is no clear link between the dating of the copy of Claudius of Turin’s commentary on Matthew and the composition of the ritual. Despite the prohibition of the cold-water ordeal by Louis the Pious in August 829, there is ample evidence of its continued practice throughout the ninth century.Footnote 7 For example, two replies by Archbishop Hincmar of Rheims provide arguments in support of the continued practice of this and other ordeals.Footnote 8 That being said, however, is it coincidental to find the text of the cold-water ordeal in a manuscript that can be later located in Lyons, the place where Archbishop Agobard had produced sharp criticism of the legitimacy of the legal instrument of ordeals in his treatise De divinis sententiis contra iudicium Dei (composed around 817–822)?Footnote 9 Or is our manuscript further evidence that in southern Gaul, Agobard’s fight against the practice of divine judgments such as the cold-water ordeal was ultimately in vain?Footnote 10

Here follows a diplomatic edition (= R) of the cold-water rite on fol. 1r/v of Rome, Biblioteca Vallicelliana, Ms. C. 3, which makes note of variants from Zeumer’s edition (= Z).Footnote 11 The letters that have become illegible in the manuscript due to abrasion have been restored in angle brackets ‹…› using Zeumer’s edition. Although the ninth-century text has been written in one block on both sides of the folio, this edition divides it into sections (a)–(g) of Zeumer’s edition.
