• Dublin Ireland Trinity College MS 1709
• London United Kingdom British Library Add. MS 40107

Written in all probability in Africa. Found ca 1730 in the Castle of the Bishop of Trent. The Dublin leaf was separated after 1762 and was bought in Dublin before 1847; the London leaf was presented to F. Hervey, Bishop of Derry, ca. 1771, and bought by the British Museum from Capt. Luttrell Byrom in 1921. The main MS was taken to Vienna after 1800, and was returned to Trent in 1919. It has recently been repaired in the Vatican.

Script is a bold uncial, not of the very oldest type. Fuller details on this MS are given under Trent (CLA 4.437).
