Written in a Northumbrian centre, to judge by script and initials. Came to Bavaria probably with the Anglo-Saxon missionaries. For the suggestion that Boniface himself in 739 presented this volume to Bishop Gaubald of Regensburg (739–761), there exists no authentic proof; additions in the Calendar and especially the entry of the name of the Regensburg martyr, St Emmeram, suggest that the manuscript was already at Regensburg in the eighth century. Later dismembered and used for bindings. Both bifolia were acquired at Regensburg. The Berlin fragment is now kept in the Universitätsbibliothek in Tübingen.

Script, by a master penman, is a compressed Anglo-Saxon majuscule recalling the Durham Cassiodorus (CLA 2.152): uncial and minuscule d are used; n and r are mostly minuscule, S mostly majuscule. Some entries in the Calendar which clearly refer to Bavaria and Regensburg are in Anglo-Saxon compressed majuscule verging on minuscule, saec. VIII², of the type seen in Munich CLM 14080 and 14653 from Regensburg; another entry is in pre-Caroline minuscule resembling Beneventan, saec. VIII, and yet another is in pre-Caroline minuscule saec. VIII–IX.
