Written presumably in a Swiss centre under Italian influence, perhaps in the same region which produced MSS Einsiedeln 369, foll. 1–2 and Schaffhausen, Ministerialbibliothek 80 + Zürich, Antiquarische Gesellschaft 19, No. XLII, fol. 67 (p. 127) (CLA 7.881, 1003). The manuscript was dismembered at St Gall, probably by the thirteenth century, to judge from the two St Gall pressmarks, saec. XIII and XV, seen at the top of p. 1 of MS 46.

Script is an Italianate type of pre-Caroline minuscule, by more than one hand: a has various forms; c is often tall and broken-backed; uncial ꝺ is frequent; one hand uses the flat-topped g; i-longa is used according to rule; the shoulder of r occasionally extends over the following letter; y resembles a dotted ꞅ; ligatures are frequent: ti ligature occurs for hard and soft ti.
