Origin and Provenance

Written probably in Italy. Was dismembered and re-used, presumably at Fleury, partly for binding purposes, partly (saec. VII–VIII) for rewriting a manuscript of Hieronymus in Isaiam. The Berlin leaf was bought by Heine from a dealer at Toledo and presented to the Royal Library in 1847. The Vatican leaves belonged to Pierre Daniel (1530–1603).
