• Berlin Germany Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, Preußischer Kulturbesitz MS Lat. fol. 270 (foll. 14–16)
• Berlin Germany Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, Preußischer Kulturbesitz MS Lat. fol. 636

Written apparently in France, to judge by the script and orthography. Belonged to P. Pithou (†1596). Later in the possession of the Marquis Le Peletier de Rosanbo, and then in the Bibliothèque de Rosny. MS 270 was acquired by the Berlin Royal Library in 1837. MS 636 belonged to Lord Ashburnham and was bought for Berlin at the Ashburnham sale in 1901.

Script is early minuscule by several hands: a has two forms; uncial ꝺ by one hand; the shaft of h tends to bend to the left or is even sinuous; script of the index in MS 636, fol. 1, is interspersed with many uncial elements (F, 𐌾, M, R, S). An early ninth-century hand added the Notae Vaticanae in MS 636, foll. 14–16v; other additions saec. IX–X. A curious Nota-monogram occurs frequently in both parts.
