Origin and Provenance

Written presumably in North Italy, in the scriptorium which produced the Evagrius palimpsest in Karlsruhe Aug. CCLIII (CLA 8.1107), possibly at Ravenna to judge by the script. Re-used in the eighth century in North Italy for copying two distinct manuscripts of Isidore (see CLA 9.1386 and 1.39).

Script Commentary

Script is a bold and regular half-uncial resembling the script of the Evagrius palimpsest in Karlsruhe Aug. CCLIII (CLA 8.1107): uncial 𐌾 is the rule; R occurs at line-end; other details given under the Vatican. For the ductus and the irregular admixture one may also compare the Ravenna Ambrose and Verona 1 (1) Append. Fragm. II (CLA 4.410a, 410b and 474).
