Provenance Corbie: the manuscript can be identified with an item in the thirteenth-century Corbie catalogue; the seventeenth-century entry 'Ex libris S. Petri Corbeiensis' is seen on fol. 1. Later at St Germain des Prés, where it was numbered '1274, olim 137' (fol. 1), saec. XVIII. The manuscript has a Carolingian binding. |
