The script is uniform and written by the same hand throughout. There is no decoration or rubrication visible; hash marks (//) visible as guides for paraphs that were not completed. The letters are upright with heavy downstrokes, short ascenders and descenders.

Two leaves from the same codex (possibly from same bifolium), used as pastedowns in restored binding of a thirteenth-century Franciscan noted Breviary. Text is a commentary on Peter Lombard's Sentences, from a section concerning baptism and exorcism and utilising Thomas Aquinas' Scriptum super Sententiis and other sources.

Front pastedown: Hair side, discolouration throughout and cut to a size slightly smaller than the binding, with two sewing holes and margin of another leaf visible. Two columns of text intact on the page, with a column of another leaf (the facing part of the bifolium) evidenced by the small amount of text at the top left. Some text covered by a label from the Plymouth Library, with a stamp reading ‘Ex Bibliotheka H.J Veit’ on the upper-right corner, as well as a label reading 'Glass Case E' on the upper-left corner. Another label at the top of the pastedown reads 'BREVIARIUM.—Breviarium Fratrum Minorum secundum consuetudine[m] Romanæ Curæ, written by an Italian Scribe, a fine MS, ON VELLUM' (referring to the host volume). 

Back pastedown: also shows hair side, with similar discolouration. It has been cut to the size of the binding, leaving most of the leaf's text intact. The visible text is contained in two columns, one of which has been cut off on the right side, both missing a number of lines at the top. There are small holes across the page, along with various handwritten notes and sums scrawled in different (later) hands. On the lower-middle area of the page, there is a blue ex libris stamp: ‘Ex Bibliotheka H.J [Veit]’.

There is no visible pricking or ruling on either pastedown (indicating, perhaps, dry point ruling that is no longer discernable?).

Host volume was purchased by the University of Victoria from Les Enluminures in 2017 (TM 785). The Les Eluminures description relates that on 12 December 1977, the book was sold by the Plymouth Proprietary Library, to whom the manuscript was presented by James Orchard Halliwell Phillips. Phillips inherited it from his wife Henrietta’s father, Thomas Rodd, who bought it from Sotheby’s on 2 February 1850.

This Breviary was bound in the fifteenth-century in dark brown leather with a stamped pattern on it (restored).
