Written certainly in France, presumably at Corbie; mentioned in several old Corbie catalogues. Its number was 28 + 230. The Corbie ex-libris (saec. XIII) is seen on fol. 1. Removed to Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris, in 1638, in which library it was No. 197. During the French Revolution a portion was acquired by Peter Dubrowsky and taken to St Petersburg. The British Museum acquired its part with the Burney MSS in 1818.

Script is an important example of French uncial: B has a strikingly protruding lower bow; Ꝺ often resembles an O with a stem-like top; G occasionally ends in a horizontal tag; the two bows of uncial M sometimes rise branch-like above the middle stem; the upper horizontal of Z is sinuous and projects to the right. Notae Tironianae occur.
