• Rome Italy Biblioteca Casanatense A III 24 (378)

Written in Italy. According to entries on the fly-leaf the MS belonged to Franciscus Trevisanus, Bishop of Verona (†1732), who presented it to the Dominican Pope Benedict XIII, who in turn donated it to the Dominican Library of the Minerva (now the Casanatense) on the '10 Kal. Nov. 1728'. Two transcripts, one made at Verona '20 April, 1728', by Bartholomaeus Campagnola, Presbiter, the other by Hyacinthus De Ferrari, O.P., Prefect of the Casanatense, are kept with the MS.

Script is a not very calligraphic uncial of a late type: the third stroke of N is often comma-like, S is top-heavy; FF and LL run together. A number of corrections in ordinary minuscule occur in the margins and between lines. The blank space of the last page was used for copying in ordinary minuscule, saec. X, an excerpt concerning Septuagesima ascribed to Bede.
