Date	V (401 - 500)
Origin and Provenance	Written in Italy and probably in the North where it was used liturgically. It is possibly the 'Liber prophetarum quem Hiltiger de Italia adduxit' mentioned in a Reichenau list of books acquired during the abbacy of Erlebald (823–838). Later certainly in the Constance Cathedral Library where it was used for binding manuscripts, presumably in the middle of the fifteenth century. The fragments came with the Constance manuscripts to Weingarten in 1630 (from there later to Darmstadt, Donaueschingen, Fulda, Stuttgart, and St Paul in Carinthia). The rediscovery of the fragments began in 1856 with E. Ranke's finds in Fulda.
