Parchment.

 1 leaf; ca 282 mm (height) by 216 mm (width).

The fragmented is not foliated or paginated.

 One singleton.

The leaf is very worn and has many stains.

It had been reused in a book binding, which caused discolouration and wear that is worse on fol. 1v.

Some of the words are difficult to read due to the condition of the fragment.

The text is written in two columns with 27 lines each.

There are approximately 8 to 10 words per line.

 The fragment was written by a single unidentified scribe.

Fol. 1vb:7-1vb:12: Major pen flourished initial Þ. Main colour: bright red; pen flourish in light blue and bright red.

Fols. 1r-1v: There are sentence initials throught the text of the fragment. The sentence initials are executed in some very delicate penwork.

Fol. 1vb:7-1vb:7: The only preserved rubric is written in bright red ink and followed by a line filler in light blue.

There are a few later additions on fol. 1v. In the top and bottom margin, a later hand added the monogram DGS, underneath which the year 1636 can be made out. There is further some illegible writing in the outer margin as well as pen trials in the lower margin.

The fragment is bound in a later half binding with brown leather on the spine and the corners, and black and green marbled paper on the boards.

The fragment was written in Norway c. 1260–1270.
