Origin and Provenance

Written at Fulda, as text and script suggest. Was apparently at Münster or Werden in the first half of the ninth century and came to Corvey at latest in the second half of that century, to judge from the annalistic entries. According to a tradition it was rediscovered in a book-binder's house at Höxter (cf. the front fly-leaf) after the destruction of Corvey.

Script Commentary

Script is an Anglo-Saxon minuscule interspersed with English uncial of a compressed type, closely resembling the script of the paschal tables in Munich CLM 14641, foll. 32–47 (CLA 9.1306). Numerous annalistic and chronological entries saec. IX–XII are in the margins; the last entry in Anglo-Saxon script refers to the year 840; opposite 809 is the entry 'obit liutgarus eps'.
