• Milan Italy Biblioteca Ambrosiana C. 105 inf. (foll. 136, 140–149, 151–153, 158–219) [palimpsest old]

Written probably in North Italy in a centre of noble calligraphic tradition. Restored in the eighth century in a rather clumsy way by an inferior scribe using poor parchment.

Script is a very expert and graceful half-uncial unlike the type usually found in MSS which have come down through Bobbio: a is almost uncial; the hasta of e is high; the upward strokes of f and ꞅ are beautifully rounded; the oblique stroke of N starts low; z sweeps down boldly below the line; the bow of initial q is a fine oval; i-longa occurs initially and here and there after r or ꞇ.
