Physical extent
2 complete leaves. 309 × 208 mm (Fragm. I); 309 × 204 mm (Fragm. II); main text block 162 × 96 mm; intercolumnar space 12 mm; text block including gloss 265 × 166 mm.
Hands
Northern Textualis. A small gothic book-hand of medium quality, probably English and datable to the later 13th or possibly early 14th century. Most likely the work of two different scribes for the text and the gloss (as indicated, for example, by two forms of ‘box-a’). Punctuation with punctus and punctus elevatus; red and blue paraphs. One red chapter heading. A smaller script is employed for the gloss; lemmata underlined. English origin is indicated, for example, by the letter ‘a’ in the gloss, which rises slightly above the headline (ex inf. Patricia Stirnemann).
Decoration
A single two-line blue initial in Fragm. II, with red flourishing, accompanied by a red heading; alternating red and blue paraphs in the text.
