| Date | VIII–IX (780 - 820) |
| Origin and Provenance |
Written in North or North-east France. Was early in a centre where Anglo-Saxon script was known. The manuscript got to Heidelberg after the loss of the Bibliotheca Palatina (1622) and was bequeathed by the Elector Karl (†1685) to his cousin, Landgraf Wilhelm VI of Hessia. Much damaged by fire in the Second World War; the carefully repaired leaves are now shrunk. |
