This article examines the history and contents of , 3203, an overlooked manuscript copy of an important text by the ninth-century lay author Nithard - a text that contains the , the first appearance of the French language. Copied in the sixteenth century by the hand of the French humanist 3203 preserves Pithou’s extensive linguistic and historical commentary on Nithard’s work (a work otherwise extant in only two manuscripts), and allows an opportunity to reconsider not only the history of its transmission and reception, but also what this history reveals about shifts in historical consciousness and the correlative value of evidence. A representative selection of Pithou’s editorial interventions is included in the article’s appendices.
