General Information
The hand of a scribe only can be detected, who uses a Southern Gothic script.
A very small fragment, in which one column only is visible, presumably produced in Italy during the fourteenth century.
The leaf has been turned horizontally, cut on all sides, and the flesh side has been used as external cover. The fragment is still in situ and the exterior cover only has been digitised due to the fragility of the pastedown.
