Origin and Provenance

Written probably at Weissenburg, to judge from the script and provenance. Later dismembered for binding purposes. The entry ‘Liber S Petri in Wissenburg’ saec. XV or XVI in. occurs on several of the fragments as enumerated under Berlin. It is not known how the Hanover fragment entered the Culemann collection.

Script Commentary

Script is early Caroline minuscule of a roundish type found in some manuscripts from Weissenburg (cf. CLA 9.1384, 1393, etc.): open a is more frequent than a; N occurs in mid-word; y is short and dotted; some descenders are very long. For other details see under Berlin (CLA 8.1051) and Leiden (CLA 10.**1051).
