Script	Uncial
Date	VIII (701 - 800)
Origin and Provenance	Origin uncertain, but probably Bobbio. The MS was No. 44 in the Bobbio inventory of 1461. The Vatican leaves were removed from Bobbio ca. 1618 during the pontificate of Paul V (1605–21). The six leaves once in Turin presumably remained at Bobbio till the suppression of the monastery in 1803. Kept for a time at the R. Accademia delle Scienze; then transferred to the Biblioteca Nazionale, where they were burnt in the fire of 1904.
