Origin and Provenance

Written in Switzerland, probably in a centre under Rhaetian influence. A doubtful tradition connects the manuscript with the Irish Saint Fintan. Belonged later to the abbey of Rheinau, near Zürich, founded before 844. Came to Zürich with the other Rheinau manuscripts after the dissolution of the monastery in 1862.
