• Berlin Germany Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, Preußischer Kulturbesitz Phillipps 1741 (foll. 209, 210)
• Reims France Bibliothèque Municipale 1424

Origin uncertain: the script and the peculiar -bus abbreviation found on the Rheims fragment favour Italy, but South France cannot be excluded. Belonged to the monastery of St Remi at Rheims, where the fragments were used for bindings. The volume which contains the Berlin leaves became the property of the Jesuit Collège de Clermont; it entered the Meerman collection in 1764 and that of Sir Thomas Phillipps in 1824. Acquired by the Berlin Royal Library in 1887.

Script is a broad, easy, informal half-uncial verging on minuscule with some uncial admixture (one of the forms of F; G regularly): a is normally open and resembles u on the Berlin leaves; the eye of e is mostly open; the shaft of l breaks near the line. For other details see under Rheims.
