• Milan Italy Biblioteca Ambrosiana C. 77 Sup. (foll. 1–152) [palimpsest new]

Written at Bobbio. Signed by the scribe in uncial after the coloured colophon on fol. 151: ‘DEO FAUENTE NAZERIS PECCATORE SCRIBENTE.’ The usual Bobbio ex-libris, without a number, is seen in the top margin of fol. 1; the later ex-libris, of the Congregation of St Justina, and the number 58 stand at the top of fol. 1; the MS is numbered 99 in the inventory of 1461.

Script is a calligraphic uncial of a late type: the bow of uncial A is roundish; the oblique stroke of N is often slightly curved and now and then transected by the second upright; the bow of R comes down low; the top of T bends down to the left and the base has a hair-line; Z has a prancing form characteristically North Italian (fol. 32v).
