Written doubtless in Ireland. Lessons from the Bible are Old Latin (p). St Gall MS 1395, p. 444–447, and Zurich MS A.G. 19, No. XXXVI (CLA 7.991 and 1012) are similar in content and size. Our fragment was used to strengthen bindings.

Script is a large Irish minuscule: d and r are more frequent than ꝺ and R; minuscule n is regular; S and ꞅ are used indifferently; c is often tall, chiefly at the beginning of words; i-longa is used initially; the ligature of et occurs in several forms, one of which has the upper bow of e not only open but curving back. A number of probationes pennae saec. X or XI occur in the margin; also a pen-and-ink sketch of a nude body.
