Parchment.
The manuscript is foliated in the top right-hand corners.
The manuscript is written in long lines with 23 lines to the page. Rubrics are in red and pen-flourished majuscules in red or blue. There are column headings.
The manuscript is written in a Gothic Bookhand.
In the chapter on sorcery, the shade of the ink is lighter than the rest of the text and could therefore be a later addition.
Some marginal references are found. In the left margin of fol. 70v a profile of a man is found, and on fols 4v and 5v there are animals.
Bound in a parchment binding (an old sea chart) from the beginning of the eighteenth century (1700-1730) ; 222 mm x 160 mm x 33 mm. On the front fly-leaf Kristian Kålund has noted the date 14. ágúst 1886.
The manuscript was written in Denmark. It has been dated c. 1400 by Kristian Kålund ( Katalog I s. 341 ). Later, Peter Skautrup dated the manuscript to c. 1350, except from The Chapter on Sorcery which he hesitatingly dates to the beginning of the fifteenth century ( Skautrup 1933 s. xvi ). However, all of the manuscript is now thought to date from as early as c. 1300 ( Kroman 1943 s. 57 ).
