Shelfmarks	London United Kingdom British Library Harley MS 1775
Script	Uncial
Date	VI (501 - 600)
Origin and Provenance	Written doubtless in Italy. The MS must have reached France early, for the ninth-century Notae Tironianae on fol. 11 seem French. Belonged to Cardinal Mazarin (1602–61). Stolen by Jean Aymon from the Royal Library, Paris, in 1707. Bought soon afterwards in Holland by Robert Harley, first Earl of Oxford.

Script Commentary	Script is a neat and elegant uncial. The corrections in sloping uncial by a contemporary reader, who employs the Greek style of syllabification, recall the method of Victor, Bishop of Capua, seen in the Codex Fuldensis (CLA 8.1196), and the corrections in the Hilary MS, Paris N.A. Lat. 1592 (CLA 5.685). There are also corrections in ninth-century Caroline minuscule, and Notae Tironianae.
