Notes

75 folios in Florence, 18 in Vatican.

From the same centre as MIrA 224 (Lowe). The two parts were united early, to judge from continuous quire signatures. Bischoff detected 9th-century Nonantola script in titles on Vat. 14r and Flor. 1r.

The Florence section (Ambrosiaster) was apparently already dismembered in the 9th century (Lowe). An eight-leaf quire is now missing between folios 41 and 42 (Chisholm).
