| Script | Anglo-Saxon Minuscule |
| Date | VIII–IX (780 - 820) |
| Origin and Provenance |
Written in a German scriptorium in the Main region. Belonged to the Mainz Cathedral Library, as is attested by the well-known entry 'iste liber pertinet ad librariam sancti Martini ecclesie Maguntin. M(acarius) Sindicus subscripsit 1479' (fol. 1). Migrated to Rome in 1622, and from there to Paris during the Napoleonic wars. Restored to Heidelberg after the Vienna treaty in 1815. Perished in 1880 with three other Iordanes manuscripts in the fire in Theodor Mommsen's house. No exact facsimile exists. The hand-drawn picture which was reproduced from Wilken is against the assumption that the Lausanne fragment formed part of our manuscript. |
