Written presumably in Ireland. At Glastonbury by 1189 (when Henry of Sully was elected abbot). Formerly used as a wrapper before the volume was rebound in the fifteenth century.

Script is an early Irish minuscule with some resemblance to the Schaffhausen Vita S Columbae (CLA 7.998) and the Bangor Antiphonary (CLA 3.311): a is consistently minuscule; with one exception each, D is uncial and s minuscule; the shoulder of r bends very low; the stem of gamma-shaped y often descends below the base-line. Some glosses by a later Insular hand, including one in Old Irish, and also by a later, non-Insular hand.
