| Origin and Provenance |
Written in Italy and probably in the North where it was used liturgically. It is possibly the 'Liber prophetarum quem Hiltiger de Italia adduxit' mentioned in a Reichenau list of books acquired during the abbacy of Erlebald (823–838). Later certainly in the Constance cathedral library where it was used for binding manuscripts, presumably in the middle of the fifteenth century. |

| Script Commentary |
Script is expert uncial of the finest and oldest type: the tail of G is short; the first stroke of M is almost straight; ligatures are numerous at line ends. Marginalia in early quarter-uncial saec. V with many ligatures; abbreviations include d = dicunt, q· = que, and the normal forms of Nomina Sacra; omitted M is marked after the vowel by a horizontal stroke with dot below. The note 'IN LETANIA' is added in poor Rustic capital opposite Ezechiel 18.1. |
