History: Based on the script Bischoff suggested the original manuscript was written in South-east Germany in the first half of the ninth century. — The fragments were detached 1960 from a Mondsee incunable (Ink. 397) from the collection of the former Studienbibliothek in Linz (today the State Library of Upper Austria). The fragments served as sewing supports in the middle of the quires.
