Written probably in the Anglo-Saxon centre of Fulda. The MS was copied from a Visigothic exemplar, fragments of which survive at Kassel and Marburg (CLA 12.1785). Formerly belonged to Libri’s collection.

Script is an expert Anglo-Saxon minuscule of a distinct type: characteristic is the g resembling an elongated 3; d has both the uncial and the minuscule form; descenders go well below the line; the shafts of tall letters are often club-shaped, a sign of Continental influence.
