Script	a-z Minuscule
Date	VIII (701 - 800)
Origin and Provenance	Written in North-east France, presumably in the Laon region. The manuscript seems to be a direct copy of the Corbeiensis Paris Lat. 12214 in half-uncial saec. VI (CLA 5.635). The Basel fragments were used ca. 1600 for binding works of the Jena professor Leopold Harkelmann (†1619); in 1880 they were presented to the University by the Basel Staatsarchiv. The Freiburg leaf came into the library as a bequest of the philologist Fr. K. Grieshaber (†1866).
