Written certainly in France, presumably in the Corbie region, if not at Corbie itself, to judge by the ornamentation. Mentioned in several old Corbie catalogues. Removed to Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris, in 1638, in which library it was no. 197. The manuscript was stolen during the Revolution and split into two parts. The St Petersburg part was acquired by Dubrowsky in 1791 and by the Imperial Library in 1805; the British Museum acquired its part with the other Burney manuscripts in 1818.

Script, described under London, is an important example of French uncial: Y is short and undotted. Cursive marginalia on St Petersburg foll. 13v and 14. Caroline corrections saec. IX. Notae Tironianae occur on St Petersburg fol. 9. For other details see under London (CLA 2.182).
