- parchment of mediocre quality (as shown by the hole and the 'transparent' patch in lower margin, which are original)
- 1 col, 36 lines
- ruling visible (plummet); pricking survives in upper margin only
- several reference letters ('c') in margin on recto indicating what initial the illuminator needed to produce.
