- Vellum, about 8 3/4 in. by 5 7/8, consisting of 145 leaves. The quires, signed with letters, are now 15 in number, but several are wanting at the end of the volume, and two leaves are missing after fol. 3. There are from 19 to 27 lines in each page.

From fol. 1 to 119 this manuscript is written in a good, regular hand of the xth cent.

And the remainder, which is also very neatly written, is of about the same age.
