Written in an Anglo-Saxon centre in Germany. The Berlin fragments were used for binding accounts from the fifteenth to the seventeenth century; most of the places mentioned there are situated west of Limburg near the Premonstratensian monastery of Arnstein (founded 1139), the probable home of the fragments in the Middle Ages. The Munich fragment comes from a collection formed by the Jesuit scholar Stephan Beissel (†1915).

Script is Anglo-Saxon minuscule by more than one hand: descenders are very long; ligatures include ma, na, and ro (rare in Insular script); subscript i occurs with m and n. Words markedly separated. Corrections and marginal entries by an eleventh-century hand.
