Provenance
Bischoff identified Erlangen, Univ.-Bibl. 2112, Nr. 7 (fragment of Sidonius, Carmina) as originally part of the same manuscript.
Lorsch, Benedictine abbey (?): Lorsch provenance inferred by Bischoff from later Eberbach provenance (see below); not certainly identifiable in the 9th-century Lorsch catalogues.
Eberbach, Cistercian abbey: identified ('warscheinlich') by Nigel Palmer as D2 (part 2) in the catalogue of 1502 ('Epistole Sidonij'); the first part of D1 is now MS. Laud Lat. 21. Characteristic Eberbach annotations (Quarto Catalogue, p. xxv). Probably removed from Lorsch to Eberbach between 1233 and 1245 while Lorsch was administered by monks from Eberbach (Palmer, p. 18)
William Laud, 1573–1645, acquired 1638.
