Origin
Provenance
This manuscript had originally been kept at Santo Stefano de' Mori↗ , see Rahlfs 1917. According to Dillmann, this manuscript belonged to Richard Laurence owner , see Dillmann 1848. According to Brock, the manuscript was, together with Oxford, Bodleian Library, Bodleian Aeth. d. 13, amongst those purchased by the Bodleian Library↗ in 1693 from Robert Huntington, see Gnisci et al. 2019. Given both Laurence's remarks on his acquisition of Oxford, Bodleian Library, Bodleian Aeth. d. 13 in Laurence 1819 and the lack of mentions of these manuscripts in records reported by Brock, this seems unlikely.

Language of text:
There is no chapter division. The text is very incorrect.Filiation: The text of this manuscript agrees so completely with the editions Petraeus 1661a, Petraeus 1660a, Nisselio 1660 and Petraeus 1661b, including its mistakes, that Christian Friedrich August Dillmann supposes that it must have been the antigraph used by Theodor Petraeus and Johann Georg Nissel(ius) .
