Parchment

Kristian Kålund foliated the manuscript in red ink by in the upper right-hand corners.

Two quires are still extant:

• I: fols 1 and 2 form a conjoint leaf.
• II: fols. 3-9: 7 leaves, of which fols 4-7 is a quire consisting of 4 leaves, fols 3 and 8 form a conjoint leaf and fol. 9 is a singleton.

Written in one column with 30 lines per page.

The manuscript consists of three fragmentary parts. Fol. 3 is very worn and dark and also partly damaged. Only a thin strip along the spine is extant of fol. 8 and the first lines of fol 9 are missing.

Red majuscules and rubrics.

Bound in a parchment binding in 1935 by Carl Lund. The shelfmark and the running title are gilt tooled on the upper board.

There are four slips attached to the paste-down and first fly-leaf.
