This manuscript was probably created in Engelberg Abbey around
1175, as the type of writing and a note within the manuscript (c.
8va) seem to confirm. It contains additions and annotations from
around 1400. The manuscript’s main text contains a copy of the
so-called Reichenauer Kaiserchronik by Hermannus Augiensis (or
Hermannus Contractus) and of the Excerpta of the continuation of
the Chronicle by Bertholdus Augiensis. Among the notes added in the
first half of the 14th century is one attesting to the transfer of
the diocese from Windisch to Constance at the time of King Dagobert
(29v). The last page contained notes about the history of Muri
Abbey in the 14th and 15th century, which were probably removed in
the 19th century. This manuscript is mentioned in the 1744 list of
Muri manuscripts, but probably it was already held by the abbey
around 1500.
