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.

Script Commentary

Script is the familiar a-b type described above (CLA 5.554) by several hands; uncial A is not infrequent. Marginalia containing analyses of the text, probably by the first hand, are in uncial mixed with capital D, E, Q. The uncial form of ꝺ is spiral and looks like an open O; uncial G has the tail curving to the right.
