Written presumably in Switzerland, to judge by a certain resemblance in script to Engelberg without number (our CLA 7.884). The fragment was used for binding a seventeenth-century paper manuscript (St Gall MS 1246).

Script is a somewhat peculiar minuscule with letters rather broad and leaning slightly to the left: both a and open a are used; d and g occur in the uncial form; f is half-uncial; ff are crossed by a single horizontal; the ri ligature is frequent and resembles n with its second stroke prolonged.
