Written in England to judge by the vellum. The script vaguely recalls Northumbrian calligraphy. Belonged in the 13th century to some cathedral library, as is attested by the entry on fol. 1: 'Iste Liber est de Maiori Ecclesia; ego Iohannes feci eum religari' (saec. XIII). Later at Moyenmoutier: the entry 'Mediani Monasterii Catalogo inscriptus, 1717' is seen on fol. 1. Press-marks on the front fly-leaves read: 'ARM No. 110', corrected to '7 No. 66'; 'X. I. No. 19'.

Script is a mixture of Anglo-Saxon majuscule and minuscule, the latter used mostly when the scribe is pressed for space: both majuscule and minuscule a occur in the same word; the majuscule uses d and Ꝺ, n and N, r and R, ꞅ and S; the form of y with both branches leaning to the right occurs; ligatures si, bi are seen on fol. 101; the Anglo-Saxon wen and thorn are used.
