Notes
Script: the manuscript proper (artt. 4-11), is copied by two hands very close to each other: A copied ff. 1r-151r (upper half), 151v-155r, and 156v in Gothica Semitextualis Libraria; B copied ff. 151r (lower half) and 155v-156r. Art. 1 is copied by a 15th century hand using deviant spellings. Art. 2 is in 16th century Humanistica Cursiva. Art. 3 (the endleaves) is in large Carolingian handwriting.
Decoration: Red headings and stroking of majuscules; red line-fillers for verses; red or blue paragraph marks. The text copied by hand B as well as the additional artt. 1 and 2 are undecorated. Art. 3 (the endleaves) has red heading and red stroking.
Binding: contemporary, undecorated white leather (deerskin?) over wooden boards, sewn onto three split leather thongs. The remains of a leather strap are attached to the front board and closes over a pin (lost) in the center of the rear board.
