• Monza Italy Biblioteca Capitolare MS b. 23 (141) (foll. 38, 43, 47, 50, 70, 73, 77, 82, 93, 94, 97, 98) [palimpsest]

Written in Italy, presumably in the North. Used for rewriting in the late tenth or eleventh century.

Script is a rude uncial: N has its third stroke comma-like and resting well above the base-line, a feature of many North Italian uncial MSS; the cross-stroke of T has downward finials; i-longa occurs initially; LL run together.
