Belonged to the Jesuit Collège de Clermont, passed into the Meerman collection in 1764, and thence into that of Sir Thomas Phillipps in 1824. Acquired by the Berlin Royal Library in 1887.

Script Commentary

Script is a rather well-developed minuscule: both a and open a are used; g is mostly Insular but occasionally the upper part is looped; the shaft of h often bends to the left; majuscule N occurs; noteworthy is the ligature at (in 'rogatiani' on CLA plate). Some rubrics and recurrent formulas are in a more cursive script. Additions in contemporary and late ninth- or tenth-century script on foll. 1 and 184 ff. German names are entered saec. IX and X on several pages.
