Written doubtless at Bobbio, probably at the same time as the Charisius over Lucan (see C.L.A., 3.400). On fol. 1 is the fifteenth-century Bobbio ex-libris 'Liber sancti columbani de bobbio'. Removed probably by Parrhasius (†1522), passed later to Antonio Seripando (†1531), and from him to his brother Girolamo, Cardinal Archbishop of Salerno (†1563), who left his library to the Augustinians of S. Giovanni a Carbonara, Naples. Removed to Vienna in 1717 and returned to Naples in 1919.
Script is a finely penned, tiny Irish minuscule. Some sections begin with a series of larger letters which gradually diminish in size, an Insular practice. |
