This 9th-century manuscript is one of a few early medieval
manuscripts that contain a Psalter written entirely in Tironian
notes. This is a shorthand that was attributed to Tiro (b. 94, d. 4
BC), a slave of Cicero (b. 106, d. 43 BC), that consisted of 4000
signs in its medieval variant. The manuscript was at Benedictine
abbey of Saint-Remi at Rheims and remained there most likely until
the abbey was dissolved during the French Revolutionary period. ff.
1r-100v: The Book of Psalms in Tironian notes, with introductions

(Rustic capitals; uncial/half-uncial script) in red. Tironian notes
highlighted in blue. The imprint of a rusty pen on ff. 43v, 44r,
72v, and 73r.
