• London United Kingdom British Library Cotton MS Titus C. XV (fol. 1)

Origin uncertain: the codex was probably written either in Italy or France. Mounted by Sir Robert Cotton inside a border cut from an illuminated fifteenth-century MS bearing the arms of Charles the Bold, and set into a parchment fly-leaf prefixed to four leaves of the purple sixth-century Greek uncial MS of the Gospels known as Codex Purpureus Petropolitanus (N).

Script is a regular, well-formed half-uncial; the shoulder of r is high; ꞅ occasionally descends below the line; i-longa is used in words like In, eIus.
