Summary

The fragment comes from a manuscript, which once probably contained the Book of Tobias (Tobit), the Book of Judith, the Book of Esther and the Book of Ezra. From the original manuscript survive furthermore the following fragments: 15 leaves in Cod. 15346Fragm. 1572Fragm. 1582Fragm. 1583Fragm. 1590Fragm. 1763. One pastedown is still in situ in Cod. 1754.

The palaeographical analysis suggests that the text was written in the Mondsee Abbey in the early 9th century. In the 15th century, several leaves from the original book were used as binding waste for Mondsee manuscripts.
