| Script | Pre-Caroline and Caroline Minuscule |
| Date | VIII ex (776 - 800) |
| Origin and Provenance |
Written probably in a Frankish area, and, at least in part, most likely at Charlemagne's court; it was probably there that the second scribe an Italian, to judge by the script entered some of the early court poetry and a highly interesting catalogue of classics. Belonged to St Faustinus at Brescia. Later in the Bologaro-Crevenna collection where it bore the number 3035; from 1790 in the possession of the Dutch philologist Laurentius Santen (†1798). Then acquired by the prelate v. Diez, whose collection was given to the Berlin Royal Library in 1817. |

| Script Commentary |
Script in parts of the manuscript is early Caroline minuscule (p. 3–66, 68–116, 129–216), elsewhere contemporary pre-Caroline with some cursive features: a is regularly open; g has the Insular form; i-longa is frequent; a characteristic form of s, standing on the line, is v-shaped with the second stroke curving above the head-line; some ligatures recall forms in Italian cursive: ce, ep, ess (p. 321), etr with t forming almost a closed circle (p. 272). Later additions on p. 66, 67. |
