• Vienna Austria Österreichische Nationalbibliothek Lat. 1556

Origin uncertain, presumably a West or South-west German centre, to judge by the script. Was in the Vienna Palatine Library by 1576; previously it may have been in the possession of Wolfgang Lazius (†1555).

Script, by several hands, is early minuscule with some pre-Caroline features and recalling in a general way the Weissenburg type: a, d, and g have two forms; the shaft of h often bends to the left; z goes below the line; the scribe of fol. 163v often uses R; ligatures include or even in mid-word and ti ligature occasionally for hard ti. Some contemporary corrections, others by eleventh-century hands. Crude drawings of Christ on foll. 1 and 68v.
