Abstract: Manuscript on parchment of fragments from Codex Iustinianus

Noticeable spellings and miswritings: amguitatibus (for ambiguitatibus), conitionaliter (for cognitionaliter), licteris, magestas, proibentur, spetialiter. Headings and plain initials in red; small slightly decorated black initials.
Fragments from Codex Iustinianus. There are a few contemporary interlinear glosses (word explanations) and many textual corrections. In the outer margin of f. 1r a red Nota mark and of f. 1v two contemporary notes.
Only the outer margin is partly preserved; at the three other sides the leaf has been severely cropped, with loss of text; the inner top part is torn, and holes have caused some additional text losses. In the outer margin of f. 1r the modern note in pencil: "103/68/8".
