Parchment

Foliated 1-4 in the upper right-hand corner of the recto pages.

There are 4 leaves, ff. 1 and 2, and ff. 3 and 4 are conjugate. The two bifolia originate from two different quires. 1r-2v was placed outside several other sheets, whereas 3r-4v formed the second sheet from the middle in another gathering.

The text is written in long lines with 25, 26 or 27 lines per page.

The text begins and ends defective, and since the four leaves originate from different places in a quire it consists of four different text fragments.

The manuscript is written in a younger gothic bookhand. The script is not very carefully written. The letter 'g' is remarkable as the entire letter is written on the line with no descender.

A rather primitive florished N-initial.

The are notes accompanying the psalm line in the bottom margin of 4v.

There are the following marginalia:

• 1r: bottom margin laugar dagín
• 1v: bottom margin J aprilís manvdí snemma a svnnvdag var js j rekí med uedri míclv a nordan er
• 2r: bottom margin vínsensí messu ä fostv
