Written in an Anglo-Saxon centre, probably in Germany. The verso of the Plimpton leaf has a nineteenth-century marginal note which reads: 'From Fire in Hotel Cluny.’ The Plimpton leaf was acquired from J. Martini by G. A. Plimpton and bequeathed by him to Columbia University in 1936. The other leaf was purchased from J. Martini by the Morgan Library.

Script is Anglo-Saxon minuscule of a type practised in some Germanic centres: descenders are rather long; the bow of a is noticeably angular; d almost regularly has the uncial form; g has a small head and an elongated bow; i-longa occurs initially. Corrections in ordinary minuscule saec. IX.
