The manuscript consists of a single gathering, originally having eight leaves, but now only six as the two innermost leaves have been lost.
The manuscript is written in one column throughout with 30 lines per page. Rubrics and majuscules in red.
The outermost pair of folios are so blackened and worn that reading is difficult and in places impossible. The top and outer margins are completely cut away. The two innermost folios of the manuscript have been lost, for which reason the manuscript comprises two fragmentary parts.
The manuscript is written in a regular Icelandic Gothic bookhand. The orthography is good.
