Origin and Provenance

Written probably at Corbie. The manuscript can be identified with an item in the thirteenth-century Corbie catalogue. On fol. 2 stands the seventeenth-century entry 'Ex libris S. Petri Corbeiensis'. Like most Corbie manuscripts, it came to Saint-Germain-des-Prés in the seventeenth century where it was numbered '203, olim 119', and to the Bibliothèque Nationale during the Revolution.
