Written at the well-known Anglo-Saxon centre of Fulda. The manuscript was copied from a Visigothic exemplar, fragments of which survive at Kassel and Marburg (CLA 12.1785). The Marburg leaves were used for binding Schmalkalden books of accounts for the years 1589 and 1590. The fragment formerly in Cheltenham is now at the Houghton Library of Harvard University.

Script is expert Anglo-Saxon minuscule of a distinct type with theta-shaped e and elongated Ᵹ with a protruding chest: a has two forms; ꝺ is mostly uncial; initial i-longa occurs, but not consistently; descenders are longish; Continental influence is evident in the club-shaped shafts of some tall letters; a contemporary Anglo-Saxon hand corrected e to ae by attaching subscript a. To be compared with the fragments of an anonymous commentary on Matthew in Fulda and formerly also in Dresden (CLA 8.1181, and S.**1181 p. 9) and other manuscripts enumerated under 12.1698.
