| Script | Caroline Minuscule |
| Date | VIII–IX (780 - 820) |
| Origin and Provenance |
Written in North Italy, to judge by the script, and probably not far from Verona. The manuscript contained exactly the same one volume edition of Alanus's Homiliary as the famous Egino Codex, Berlin Phill. 1676 (CLA 8.1057), as is shown by the index of homilies (Heidelberg, front fly-leaf). Was apparently dismembered for binding purposes at Reichenau. The Karlsruhe bifolium comes from the binding of MS Aug. 84 (Vitae Sanctorum saec. X–XI); the Heidelberg leaves are still in the binding of a twelfth-century manuscript from the Cistercian monastery of Salem, situated a little north of Lake Constance. |

| Script Commentary |
Script is early Caroline minuscule of North-Italian type, with ascenders markedly club-shaped: d has two forms; vowels including v-shaped u are frequently suprascript at line-ends. The bow of uncial A is a small pendant angle. A thirteenth-century hand entered the contents of the main manuscript on Karlsruhe fol. 1v . |
