Script: Written by two scribes employing differing forms of Gothica textualis, the first having written the first quire, the second the remainder of the codex.
Headlines throughout in alternating red and blue capitals, chapter numbers in margins also in alternating colors, and large capitals at beginnings of books and chapters of the text in red or blue, with extensive filiform decoration bordering the left margin in the contrasting color on leaves with such capitals, all the work of a rubricator, performed separately from the writing of the text. Book and chapter headings in red by the scribes throughout.
Binding: Modern European parchment-covered boards, backstrip calligraphically lettered in gothic script with the author's name and title.
