The Codex Vindobonensis 795 (Vienna Austrian National Library Codex) is a 9th-century manuscript, most likely compiled in 798 or shortly thereafter (after Arno of Salzburg returned from Rome to receive the pallium[definition needed]).[1] It contains letters and treatises by Alcuin, including a discussion of the Gothic alphabet. It also contains a description of the Old English runes.[citation needed]
The Codex Vindobonensis 795 is a collection of letters of Alcuin, as compiled by Arno of Salzburg; it also contains two texts about the topography of Rome, particularly its shrines: the Notitia ecclesiarium urbis Romae[needs Eng. translation] and the De locks sanctis martyrum quae sunt foris civitatis Romae[needs Eng. translation], neither of which were written by Alcuin.[1] The manuscript seems to be an attempt to imagine the reconstruction of Rome[clarification needed], as it also contains correspondence between Arno and Alcuin about the rebuilding of the monastery of St. Stephen's at St. Paul's[clarification needed] as well as commentary on the Epistle to the Romans.[1]
