In Latin.
Script: Copied by a group of scribes, all writing a more or less careful Italian Late Carolingian script. There are numerous and extensive alterations and corrections on erasure. Headings in a mixture of Capitals and Uncials.
Headings in red. Initials of various styles: (1) plain Romanesque initials, sometimes with developed decoration, in red; (2) more or less large painted initials in various bright colours on coloured background and filled with white vinestem; the body of the letter often filled with various interlace and frets; the vinestem may be issuing from an animal's mouth.

Initials are lacking f. 197v, 201v.
