Summary

A fragment of one leaf containing the end of Book 2 homily 5 and beginning of 6 (Patrologia Latina 76.997C-998B).

Written in a carolingian minuscule hand in dark brown ink, with rubrics in green uncial letters.
The original ms. had 2 columns ca. 9 cm. wide each. This fragment, 1 column wide, was recovered from a binding. The recto has only a few words not rubbed off.
Homilies 5 and 6 are here numbered 17 and 18 (on verso: "Expt omelia xvii Incip eiusdem xviii").
On the verso is a large initial letter "P" with strapwork ornament and a snake within, in green, orange and yellow.
Probably Italian.
