Written apparently in Northumbria, to judge from certain palaeographical features. Belonged to Fulda probably by the ninth century; 'historia anglorum b' in minuscule saec. IX is seen on the pigskin envelope. The fifteenth-century Fulda press-mark 'XXXIIII. 02. 7' is seen on the front cover. Came to Kassel in or after 1632.

Script, by more than one hand, is a skilful and rapid Anglo-Saxon minuscule; the eye of e is often detached; initial i-longa occurs frequently with a break at the foot; subscript i occurs; the ei ligature is often used; descenders are long; the bow of q at the beginning of sentences resembles a prancing z.
