Catalogued as 12th-century Caroline minuscule from the Speculum doctrinale, book 25. The script is Gothic, after c. 1250, and the text is probably Vincent of Beauvais's Speculum historiale.
Correction: A catalogue record that a hand-check against the images shows to be wrong. Not a new find.
The Speculum doctrinale has 17 books, so there is no book 25; the Speculum historiale has 31. One cutting carries chronicle entries for 1118–1120 in the Sigebert of Gembloux tradition, which the Historiale draws on. A direct copy of Sigebert is not excluded.
