History: According to Bischoff the manuscript was written in Alamannien, Sankt Gall (vgl. Schmitz) in the end of the ninth or first half of the tenth century. — A tenth-century copy of this manuscript written in Freising is preserved today in Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Clm. 6360, which suggests our manuscript was at Freising at the time. The codex used to have binding waste from Mondsee, suggesting it belonged to the monastery sometime in the Late Middle Ages (probably prior to the binding initiative started in the fifteenth century). The fragment was detached and is now held in Berlin, Staatsbibliothek under shelfmark Fragm. 47 (see F-b3km. In the sixteenth century the manuscript belonged to Ferdinand Hoffman von Grünbühel und Strechau (exlibris). Later the manuscript was part of the library of the Fürst Dietrichstein-Nikolsburg in Moravia (Signatur: II 179), which was actioned in 1933. The manuscript was then held at the Staatsbibliothek in Berlin, from where it disappeared for years (probably after World War II). At the time Bischoff wrote the Schreibschule (1980) he had access only to photos of two leaves and the description made by Christ. 1981 the manuscript was rediscovered by Roman Zawadzki in the Biblioteka Jagiellońska.
