Provenance: The bifolium is from a from a compilation of Psalms and Gospel readings transcribed by Pietro Ursuleo (d. 1483), Bishop of Satriano from 1474 until his appointment as Archbishop of Santa Severina on 22 February 1483, shortly before his death in April of that year.

Acquired from Folio Fine Art (6 Stratford Place, London, W1) for five pounds. The date of acquisition is not recorded.

Peter Kidd has noted that the pencil annotation 'VMS 2027' on the recto resembles the stock numbering used by the bookseller Bruce P. Ferrini, suggesting that the leaf may have passed through his hands.

The parent manuscript is thought to have belonged to the library of Sir John Boykett Jarman (1782–1864), dispersed at auction by Sotheby, Wilkinson & Hodge on 13–14 June 1864 (lot 161). The manuscript later passed to the London bookseller James Tregaskis (1850–1926), who offered it for sale in 1912–13 (catalogues 717, 720, and 743). By 1916, the manuscript had been dismembered, and its leaves were offered for sale individually (catalogue 777), resulting in their subsequent dispersal to collections worldwide.

Contents: The text preserves part of the Gospel narrative according to Luke (22:62–71; 23:1–8), recounting Peter’s remorse following his denial of Jesus, Jesus’ appearance before the council and Pilate, and his subsequent questioning by Herod.

Script: Written in a formal humanistic minuscule. 

Reconstruction: This leaf forms part of an ongoing digital reconstruction of the dispersed manuscript. Additional identified fragments may be viewed, and further fragments contributed, through Fragmentarium (F-tqtn).
