[2] The entire work has been preserved in a late-11th-century manuscript written in Carolingian minuscule.
A note at the top of one of its leaves indicates that it was held at the library of the Catholic Diocese of Freising in the 12th century.
[1] The work's author, Gerard, was the first bishop of Csanád in Hungary (now Cenad in Romania) from 1030 to 1046.
The work is a treatise on the story of Prophet Daniel's three friends whom King Nebuchadnezzar II sentenced to death for refusing to worship a golden statue.
