The Indiculus superstitionum et paganiarum ("Small index of superstitions and paganism") is a latin collection containing capitularies identifying and condemning superstitious and pagan beliefs among the Saxons during the time of their subjugation and conversion by Charlemagne.
From the original manuscript only the cover remains, which lists thirty chapters. This index provides valuable insight into the religious culture of the pagan Saxons (from the Christian point of view) and into the daily practices of Christian missionaries working in that area.
The manuscript is held in the Vatican Library in a collection (Codex Palatinus Latinus 577) which probably originates from Fulda and thence traveled to Mainz, arriving there in 1479. From Mainz it went to the Bibliotheca Palatina in Heidelberg, and arrived in Rome at the latest in 1623. Preceding the Indiculus is the so-called Old Saxon Baptismal Vow. The text is edited in the Karlomanni Principis Capitulare, published by the Monumenta Germaniae Historica.
