Written in an Anglo-Saxon centre presumably on the Continent. The manuscript comes from Murbach. It is possible that it was at Reichenau in the fifteenth century, if one may judge from the title at the top of fol. 173.

Script Commentary

Script is a rather stiff Anglo-Saxon minuscule (a more cursive script is seen here and there at the end of pages): ae and at often run together; majuscule N, S, and R occur, the last rather frequently. The first page of the preface (fol. 173) is in Anglo-Saxon majuscule with R, S, and d, N and n. Marginal glosses in Insular and ordinary minuscule saec. VIII–IX and X.
