Written in a German centre under Anglo-Saxon influence, possibly at Fulda with which its later history is connected. The text of Sedulius in this manuscript is in the Irish tradition. Came into the possession of Remigius Faesch, professor at Basel (†1667).

Script is pointed Anglo-Saxon minuscule of a distinct type used in some German centres with Anglo-Saxon traditions: a and d have two forms; Ᵹ has a characteristic form with a protruding, pointed chest; the ae ligature resembles ce; the bows of b and ꝺ occasionally touch a following bow (as in the later Middle Ages). Corrections by an eleventh-century hand.
