• Turin Italy Biblioteca Nazionale A.II.2* (foll. 3–46, 54–72, 75–112) (now lost, destroyed by fire in 1904)

Written probably in Italy. The Cicero text was rewritten in the seventh century with a text of Augustinus, no doubt at Bobbio. The MS was given to a duke of Savoy in the first half of the seventeenth century. The Cicero palimpsest was discovered in 1820 by A. Peyron. Destroyed by fire in 1904.

Script is a finely penned Rustic capital: G has a short tail; the two outer shafts of M are almost vertical; the bow of P is small; U approaches the uncial form.
