Dimensions: c. 280 x 207 mm (inner margin cropped), half leaf c. 140 x 207 mm. Written area: c. 227 x 159, half leaf c. 90 x 159. Width of columns: 72 mm (inner) and 78 mm (outer). Intercolumnar space: 10 mm. Lower margin: 50 mm.
The leaves are in poor condition. Fragm. I/1 recto is defaced and partly illegible because of glue and worm holes. Fragm. II has a large tear down the centre of the two columns (105 x 25 mm), with resultant loss of text. Fragm. IIr-v is extremely faded, and text on the verso has been erased to make way for the table of contents. Layout: A large-format manuscript in two columns, with generous margins, designed to accommodate an extensive text, probably a collection of several books of the Old Testament. Chapter headings may have been planned, but they were not executed. Ruling: In ink, for two columns of 44 lines, the first line of text below the top ruled line. The vertical ruling and the first and last horizontal ruled lines extend the full height and width of the page. No pricking is evident.
Northern Textualis, the letters upright and compressed horizontally, exhibiting the full range of fusions typical of the later gothic period, very short ascenders and descenders. A middle register, Libraria rather than Formata. No rubrication. Datable most likely to the middle or second half of the fourteenth century and more likely Northern French than from the Anglo-Norman world.
