| Origin and Provenance |
Written in the same West Swiss or possibly North Italian centre which produced Paris Lat. 653 and the splendid Liber Comitis Paris Lat. 9451 (CLA 5.527, 580) and presumably also St Gall 108 and 227 (CLA 7.905, 930), Karlsruhe Aug. CCLXI (CLA 8.1111), and Vienna 1616. The manuscript was acquired by Mathias Flacius Illyricus (†1575) and came with most of his books into the library of Helmstedt University. |

| Script Commentary |
Script is calligraphic pre-Caroline minuscule of a distinct type, characterized by the letter r with a markedly upturned shoulder; open a is almost the rule; i-longa occurs initially and medially (Ille, InIuriam); in the ti ligature the i swings boldly to the left; descenders are long, ascenders club-shaped. Some additions in crude German minuscule saec. IX. |
