The binding was dyed or painted black by a former owner. The text, however, is slightly raised and therefore legible using rake light, and photographs better using infrared reflectography.

The text is laid out in the intercisum format, with the homily arranged in a smaller script around the main bible text in larger letters.

 Red and blue lombards in the main text, some with pen flourishes. Description by: Charlotte Epple, Fragmentarium, 2026 Holck, Jakob Povl.
