Parchment.
Written in double columns with 32 and 31 extant lines to the column on ff. 1 and 2, respectively.
The two leaves are trimmed causing a loss of text; the last 4 lines of both of the leaves are now missing, furthermore a good part of the outer columns of f. 2 is cut away. The outer leaves i.e. ff. 1r and especially 2v are so worn that reading at some parts is made difficult or impossible; f. 2vb is more or less illegible. The ink in two of the initials, S and Þ, on f. 2r have contained a copper connection that has corroded the vellum, the lower bow of the S missing, whereas nothing but the hole and some few ornamentations is left of the Þ.
