Later passed to Antonio Seripando (†1531), and from him to his brother Girolamo, Cardinal Archbishop of Salerno (†1563), who left his library to the Augustinians of S Giovanni a Carbonara, Naples. Removed in 1718 to Vienna and returned to Naples in 1919.

Script Commentary	Script is a very expert finely penned cursive minuscule, distinctly North Italian: noteworthy are the upright form of a in ligature with another letter, the elongated loop of e, and the 7-shaped form of t when combined with i; i-longa is used regularly at the beginning of a word, even in 'illa', and medially for the semi-vocal sound; capital Q has its tail turned up into the bow; y is v-shaped and dotted.
