 Considering the stemma codicum, the Vatican codex is of the same rank as the latter one (the Oxford manuscript being one step closer to the lost archetype, known as "codex Veronensis" or "V").The first owner of the manuscript was an Italian humanist, Coluccio Salutati.In the mid-16th century Achilles Statius, in his edition of Catullan poems, shows an acquaintance with this codex.
