| Date | VIII² (751 - 800) |
| Origin and Provenance |
Written in a Beneventan scriptorium. The text of Mallius Theodorus is closely akin to that of the Beneventan MS Paris Lat. 7530 (CLA 5.569) written at Monte Cassino between 779 and 797. Brought from Italy perhaps by the Emperor Otto III (†1002) or Henry II (†1024) and presented by the latter to Bamberg cathedral. |

| Script Commentary |
Script is an early stage of Beneventan minuscule: a is mostly open; c is frequently broken; the uncial form of d is the rule; i-longa occurs initially (Igitur, adIunxi); numerous ligatures, including gi, nt, sp, ta, tu; mi and hard ti ligatures are used indifferently. Some corrections by the main scribe, others by later hands. Greek alphabets in majuscule and in somewhat poor minuscule and a Latin note on cattle were added, probably saec. X, on fol. 103v. |
