• Milan Italy Biblioteca Ambrosiana C. 73 inf. [palimpsest old 2]

Written probably in Italy; a number of other MSS containing apocryphal matter were used for rewriting about the same time at Bobbio. It is now extremely illegible, and many pages are stained by reagent.

Script is rather stiff and regular dignified uncial: the hasta of uncial E is high and the loop closed; the oblique stroke of N is thick; O is broad and the axis is almost vertical; the bow of R comes down low; the general impression is that of a hand accustomed to writing Gothic uncial.

• Provenance: Bobbio library (Zironi 2004)
• Text: MSS with texts available in the Bobbio library during the Lombard period (Zironi, 2004)
