Written in Italy and probably in the North. There is some resemblance to the Ravenna Ambrose (CLA 4.410a and b). Was at Lyon by the ninth century as the Florus annotations show.

Script by several similar hands is an expert and graceful half-uncial with marked uncial admixture: half-uncial a resembles a minuscule d with short vertical stroke; uncial A occurs at line-end; most scribes use uncial G, one (foll. 67v. ff.) uses Ᵹ; uncial forms of Ꝺ, F, M, R, S occur often, A and B here and there. Prefaces and analyses added in the margins are in a contemporary Italian cursive minuscule by very expert scnbe who abbreviates -bus by b· and b’, both with the bow prolonged below the line, id est by id with the shaft of d prolonged on the line and intersected, and per by ꝑ, and has spellings like ‘iobe’ (iove), ‘minerbam’, ‘benerem’; the analysis on fol. 104v in slightly later half-uncial stands over erased sixth-century cursive minuscule. Annotations in the hand of Florus Diaconus (†859×60) occur passim (foll. 99v, 117v, etc.).
