Written in Switzerland or North Italy, probably in the centre which produced Einsiedeln 369 foll. 1–2. The Schaffhausen manuscript belonged to the monastery of Allerheiligen at Schaffhausen, later to the church of St John (cf. the eighteenth-century ex-libris on fol. 1). The Zürich fragment formed part of the Ferdinand Keller collection.

Script is a roundish, early minuscule of an Italian type: open a and a, d and ꝺ; e is tall; i-longa is frequent initially; the shoulder of r curves up and extends over the following letter; the top of t bends considerably to the left, but the flat top occurs at beginning of words; the fi ligature has the Italian form. An early hand added liturgical lection-marks (t = Christ, c = other persons and Evangelist).
