  • Munich Germany Bayerische Staatsbibliothek CLM 14429 (foll. 1–62, 64–71, 73–82) [palimpsest old]
Script Irish Majuscule
Date VII–VIII (680 - 720)
Origin and Provenance

Origin doubtless Ireland. Palimpsested by a ninth-century Irish scribe, most likely at Reichenau, as is suggested by literary and historical considerations: the text of our Glossary seems to have been the source for the Glossarium Salomonis, and two other manuscripts written by this same scribe—CLM 14423 and 14459, both from Regensburg—were copied from Reichenau exemplars. Provenance the library of St Emmeram at Regensburg.
