Origin and Provenance

Written at Lorsch. Our manuscript betrays its different exemplars: Visigothic aūm occurs in the Spanish author; Anglo-Saxon features are seen in the Tatuine. The manuscript is important as containing a corpus of grammatical works, some of which are rare. The twelfth-century Lorsch ex-libris on fol. 1. Later at Heidelberg, from where it migrated to the Vatican in 1623.

Script Commentary

Script, by several scribes, is early Caroline minuscule of Lorsch type: is mostly uncial; i-longa initially and also medially (huIus, cuIus); uncial N here and there; the second stroke of x resembles an inclined c, a form seen in other Lorsch manuscripts; the NT ligature occurs even in mid-word. The original text of Julian of Toledo ended on fol. 126; other matter by the same author was begun by a slightly later hand on the verso.
