Written presumably in Ireland. Reached Bobbio apparently not before the eleventh century. Not in the inventory of 1461. Re-used in the fifteenth century, along with leaves from other MSS., to copy a vernacular treatise by Cavalca, the Irish miniatures, curiously enough , remaining intact. Brought to Turin probably after the supression of the monastery in 1803. The entire MS., with the exception of the miniature pages, was destoyed in the fire of 1904. Their escape was due to the fact that they had been removed for photographing.
Script is a stately Irish majuscule. Coloured initials of Insular type were spared, for some reason, when the text was erased. |
