| Origin and Provenance |
Written probably in Italy, possibly in an ancient centre in France. It was certainly in France in the seventh century. Belonged to Murbach. The manuscript was probably in a fragmentary state in the fifteenth century when its leaves were used for repairing purposes. The largest Besançon fragment was removed by J. J. Bruand, who owned MS 184, as early as 1822. The Gotha fragments fell into the hands of the Russians with the rest of the library in 1945. The Leipzig fragments, once attached to the Cyprian manuscript now in Manchester (CLA 2.222), were an item in one of Hiersemann's sale-catalogues in 1927 and are now supposed to be in Switzerland. |

| Script Commentary |
Script is bold expert uncial of the oldest type; the bow of uncial A is pointed; the hasta of uncial E is high; ꝺ, uncial M, and U are broad; the bows of P, uncial Q, and R are small. A seventh-century Merovingian charter-hand entered on the blank recto of the Besançon leaf a note which reads: ‘<. . .> i codece contenetur exposicio quattuor evangelestarum edeta ad sancto elario pectatese epo (?)'. It is followed by another line in very pale script. |
