Uppsala: Almquist & Wikselle, 1959. 16ff. A short history of the fifth-century manuscript of the same title, printed in Swedish, English, French, and German.

Housed in a silver box, which is a miniature reproduction of the beautifully ornate seventeenth-century box which holds the original manuscript. (Welsh 1972; Bondy p. 181; MBC I: No. 2, p. 13).
