“Milred's Sylloge might have included some of the poems of the so-called Alcuiniana (A and B):⁶⁷ Milred himself might even have taken a copy of his sylloge to Germany, where Alcuin and other Carolingian poets later used it as a model.”

“Ciriaco's epigraphic collections on paper, known as sylloges, are his most famous contribution.”
