Script	Uncial
Date	VIII med (726 - 775)
Origin and Provenance	Written north of the Alps in a fine centre of calligraphy with traditions of book-making and decoration similar to those in vogue in the schools which produced the Missale Francorum, Sacramentarium Gelasianum, Missale Gothicum in uncial (CLA 1.103, 105, 106) and several MSS in early French minuscule (CLA 2.174, 202b). It is highly probable that the BASINUS in the acrostic poem on foll. 214v–215v refers to the Bishop of Trèves of that name (671–695).
