Written doubtless at Verona. Came to the Jesuit Collège de Clermont perhaps not as most of the Claromontani of Veronese origin, i.e. by way of Metz but from the monastery of St Aubin at Angers with the Sedulius manuscript, Berlin, Phillipps 1727 (CLA 8.1058); it is the ‘codex Andegavensis’ of Baluze. Entered the Meerman collection in 1764 and that of Sir Thomas Phillipps in 1824. Acquired by the Berlin Royal Library in 1887.

Script, by several hands, is early Caroline minuscule of Verona type: a has two forms; g has various forms, including the typically Veronese; ti ligature is used for both hard and soft ti.
