• Verona Italy Biblioteca Capitolare XL (38) (foll. 267–314, etc.) [palimpsest]

Written apparently in Italy, to judge by the script. Used for rewriting at the beginning of the eighth century, probably at Luxeuil or region. It was at Verona by the ninth century.

Script is a beautiful, regular uncial of the oldest type: uncial A has a pointed bow; the upper bows of B and R are small; the loop of uncial E is small; the first stroke of uncial M is rather straight. Scholia in tiny Greek uncial in a current expert hand (fol. 307r–v).

• Origin: Burgundia Scripta (Barbet-Massin, Bully, Gasse-Grandjean)
