History

The manuscript was discovered in the February 1876 by Quintino Sella, Italian ambassador to Austria, in the archive of emperor Francis Joseph. When he asked for a copy, the Austrian minister of roreign affairs Andrassy officially gifted Sella the manuscript, citing its importance as the reason for the act.

After his return to Italy, Sella proposed its publication to the Accademia dei Lincei. The code was thus published in 1880; four years, after Sella's death, his heirs gifted the Codex to the municipality of Asti.
