Origin probably North-east France. Provenance the Abbey of Gellone: the ex-libris 'Ex manuscriptis monasterii Sancti Guillelmi de Deserto Cathalogo inscriptus' (saec. XVIII–XIX) is seen on fol. 1.

Script, by several hands, is a graceful minuscule of a distinct type akin to the Corbie a-b script (seen in CLA 1.105; 2.238; 5.558; and 6.719): a is like contiguous oc except in ligature when it approaches the a-b script form of a and is often suprascript; b has a tag to the right; the shaft of h leans to the left; o resembles a compressed uncial ꝺ; sickle-shaped suprascript u is frequent, likewise the ligatures ri and ti (for both hard and soft sounds). The uncial used for the headings is a type noteworthy for them with the bows rising branch-like above the line and the N with the uprights leaning towards each other; the same type is seen in CLA 1.105; 2.238; 5.529, 567, [639](Early Caroline Minuscule), and in the group of three manuscripts (Cologne 63, 65, 67) written by nuns in the time of Archbishop Hildebald (785–819).
