Written at Lorsch. Our manuscript is mentioned in one of the four ninth-century catalogues of this monastery; the Lorsch ex-libris saec. IX and X on fol. 2. The entry ‘Ex Steinbach D. Marquardi restitutum M.D.XXII’ stands on fol. 2v; Steinbach is an old ecclesiastical site in Odenwald, not far from Lorsch. Later belonged to the Sorbonne library.

Script of foll. 3–39, part of 40v, and of 59–62 is typical early Lorsch minuscule; an Anglo-Saxon hand or two wrote foll. 41–58; slightly later Lorsch additions on foll. 39v–40 and on 40v. Verses by Eugenius of Toledo in a more cursive type saec. VIII ex. on fol. 2, probably the original fly-leaf; numerous probationes pennae saec. IX, X, or XI on foll. 2, 2v, 62, and 62v; neumes on fol. 62v. German glosses saec. X on the Aldhelm leaves.
