HISTORY: An east-Frankish manuscript of the third quarter of the 9c, perhaps coming to Köln in the 10c (Bischoff 1998-2014: no. 1946; BergmannStricker 2005: 2. 776) with one perhaps southern OHG gloss (f. 14r/7 'farmieton') and contemporary Latin interlinear glosses to Genesis (ff. 2v-4r) as well as some added interlinear OHG glosses to 3 Kings (f. 19v) of the 10c "which seem to go back to an OE source" (Ker, Cat.) or to Low German (Klein 1977: 183-88, independently, Quak 1977/78; see also Bergmann and Stricker 2005: 2. 777). The early history is not known. In the panic preceding the French invasions, in 1794 it was removed with other Kaln manuscripts to Arnsberg, and in 1815 to Darmstadt; the Kain manuscripts were only retrieved by the Dombibliothek with difficulty and with the aid of the King of Prussia in 1866 (see Jones 1932: 4); this was Darmstadt no. 2180 (see Jaffe and Wattenbach 1874: iii). A complete digital facsimile is available (Thaller and Finger).
