Written doubtless in North Italy, to judge by script and abbreviations. The use of MĀM for 'misericordiam' and the peculiar form of Z suggest Verona, but these may be North Italian features and not strictly Veronese. The Insular symbol for 'autem’ suggests Bobbio, but its use, too, may have been known to other centres. The Santa Croce ex-libris is seen on first and last pages (Cistercian library stamp).

Script is a late type of uncial, by several hands, of a distinctly North Italian variety: the tail of 𐌾 has a tag to the right; the second upright of N is comma-like and often strikes the oblique line above the base; the bow of R is low and mostly open; the top of T has a downward finial on the left side; Z has a peculiar shape like an open Q (found also in Verona 62, CLA 4.512); two successive C's sometimes have the cursive form like a recumbent 8; LL and FF are usually kept separate; uncial E with the cedilla is often used for AE. Corrections in cursive minuscule of North Italian type saec. VIII–IX.
