History: The manuscript was written in Mondsee probably in the period 811-819 by the order of Abbot Lantpert. The manuscript can be dated based on the opening inscription mentioning Hildebald of Cologne as archbishop. Hildebald became Abbas Commendatarius in 803, which can be seen as the terminus post quem, while Hildebald death in 819 as the terminus ante quem. Lantpert named himself "abbas" in the inscription suggesting the book was written after 811; before that Lantpertus was still a deacon.
