Physical Description
Parchment.
The first 6 lines of f. 2 has been cut away and the first word on f. 2ra is therefore missing. The outer sides of f. 5 has also been cut away and has therefore caused that the first 1 or 2 letters of each side is missing. The leaves are all in all damaged because of wear and tears.
The manuscript is written in double columns with 41 lines per column. Rubrics in red, majuscules in varying colours.
The manuscript is written in a practised Icelandic Gothic bookhand.

Marginal notes written by others:History
The manuscript is written in Iceland. Kristian Kålund has dated the manuscript to the fourteenth century wheras Finnur Jónsson and Jonna Louis-Jensen has dated the manuscript more precisely to the beginning of the fourteenth century.
The only evidence of the aquisition of the manuscript is that on f. 1r and 2r concerning only those two leaves.
- Árni Magnússon got f. 1r in 1703 from an unnamed man from Garður in Suðrnesjum, but the leaf came from the northern Iceland; the man could not account for where he has got it.
- f. 2 was given to Árni Magnússon from Eyólfur of Þorkelstaðir, Grindavík 1704.
