• Verona Italy Biblioteca Capitolare LX (58)

Origin not improbably Verona. The subscription on fol. 126v ending: 'Theodosius indignus diaconus fecit' may be the scribe’s, but it more probably refers to the compilation of the contents in the archetype, which was presumably African. The MS is highly irregular in many ways. It seems to have been little studied before it fell into the hands of Ratherius in the middle of tenth century.

Script is an ungainly uncial with a number of late features: the third stroke of N often cuts the oblique and resembles an elongated comma; the top of T has a downward finial at either end; FF and LL run together. Some eighth-century cursive entries of a type seen in other Verona MSS are found on foll. 35v, 119v, etc.; most marginal insertions are of the tenth century.
