Written in East or North-east France. The uncial headings recall the type seen in the Sacramentarium Gelasianum (Vatic. Regin. Lat. 316 + Paris Lat. 7193, CLA 1.105, CLA 5, q.v.). The miscellany was purchased by Colbert, in whose collection it bore the number 2565. Later Regius 5203.3 (see fol. 1).

Script is an elegant minuscule, approximating the a-b type, with a like two contiguous c's (the characteristic a is found only when in ligature with the preceding letter), with the typical b and other letters hardly differing from the a-b type; sickle-shaped suprascript u occurs; u after q resembles a reclining s.
