History of the manuscript

The Codex was after widespread adoption towards the end of the 9th century written by an Irish monk, probably in the monastery of St. Gall. This manuscript belonged to Paul Junius in Leiden. Junius died in 1670 and the manuscript was in the hands of Peter Franz ( 1645-1704 ) in Amsterdam, in which she compared Bynaeus A. 1690. In 1705 she bought the Leipzig theologian Friedrich Christian Börner ( 1685-1753 ) - therefore Boernerianus. After the death of Börner's handwriting in Dresden was kept.

The Codex is in the Saxon State Library - State and University Library in Dresden under the signature MSCR. Dresd. A.145.b kept.
