| Origin and Provenance |
Written in France, apparently in a Burgundian centre. Was given to the cathedral of Lyon by Archbishop Leidrad (798–814): ‘Leidrat licet indignus tamen episcopus istum librum tradidi ad altare S. Stephani’, etc. is entered on fol. 1 in a contemporary hand which is not the donor’s (CLA 4.417) nor the one which made similar entries in Paris Lat. 152 and 11709. |

| Script Commentary |
Script is a roundish minuscule of a distinct type, seen also in Paris Nouv. Acq. Lat. 1740 (foll. 193–197 (see CLA 5.691): open a is the rule, a the exception; the shaft of h often bends backward; T has two forms, one resembling the Visigothic and Beneventan; ascenders are club-shaped; the bow of uncial A at beginning of sentence is often triangular with the base swinging along the line. Annotations by the hand of Florus Diaconus are found on many pages. The Leidrad dedication and probationes pennae repeating it occur on the originally blank recto of fol. 1. |
