This large, incomplete manuscript in folio format contains the
summer portion and the Commune sanctorum of the homiliary by Paulus
Diaconus. It was written by various hands in a 9th century
Carolingian minuscule; in addition to initials drawn in ink and
decorated with red scrolls which indicate an Irish influence, there
are even several elegant incipits in capital script. The manuscript
probably comes from Reichenau, certainly from the area of Lake
Constance. It belonged to the Phillipps collection, later to
Chester Beatty; it was bought in 1968 by Martin Bodmer.
