Codex Beneventanus

According to a subscription on folio 239 verso, the manuscript was written by a monk named Lupus for one Ato, who was probably Ato, abbot (736–760) of the monastery of San Vincenzo al Volturno (Saint Vincent on the Volturnus), near Benevento.

The unusual odd number of Canon Tables suggests these seven folios were prepared as much as two centuries earlier than the rest of the codex.

The text is written on vellum in two columns in uncial script with no division between words.

The subscription of Lupus is written in uncials, and also has alternating lines of red and black ink.

The rear flyleaf (folio 240) is a piece of vellum from another manuscript and contains a fragment of a commentary on the Epistle to the Romans written in a 9th-century Carolingian minuscule that has 10th century Beneventan punctuation.
