Origin uncertain; the script points to North France. The manuscript belonged to the ancient library of the Bollandists.

Script shows considerable variety: the pre-Caroline hands make use of open a and such ligatures as am, aru; q is often open at the top; the lower left-hand branch of x is long and often has a point or spur to the right; other hands, closer to Caroline minuscule, have both a and open a, d and ꝺ, and often n and N. A ninth-century entry stands on the much rubbed fol. 1; a charm against fever is seen on foll. 128v–129 (saec. X). A fourteenth-century table of contents in the lower margins of foll. 1v–2 suggests St Bertin as provenance.
