General Information
Main text in a northern gothica textualis libraria (s. XIV)
Glosses in a northern gothica textualis currens (s. XIV). The execution of the letter 'a' alternates between a single and double compartment letter 'a'. However, this is probably the results of small and rapid writing.
Later additions in lower margins of fol. [1]r and [1]v (probably s. XVII)

History
See below: Host volume.
Host Volume
Host volume unknown. The parchment strip probably functioned as a guard of the first or last quire of a book or codicological unit. Only a small part of the strip was around the quire. The other, larger part must therefore have been at the front or back of the book or codicological unit. It was not pasted since the strip contains notes on both sides (and does not show any glue residues). It was therefore probably a kind of flyleaf. Fol. [1]r contains an inscription (probably s. XVII) which could refer to the owner of the host volume (surname): "Beverlinck". The additions on fol. [1]v are heavily faded.
