Manuscript on parchment in two parts. Part I: Pseudo-Bede, Commentarius in Psalmos.

The contents of the first quire, which is equally lost, is unknown. Written at the Cistercian abbey of Morimondo. Part II: Unidentified definitions and theological and ethical discussions of Biblical terms and quotations without apparent order, on behalf of preachers
Description:
In Latin., Script: Part I (ff. 1-113): Written by various hands close to each other in small late Carolingian script, with sudden changes in the shade of ink and sometimes badly following the lines. The handwriting on ff. 77-84 (quire XI) and ff. 112-113 (quire XVI) has markedly different features. Part II (ff. 114-133): Written by a single hand in tiny Southern Gothica Textualis Currens, at different times and in many different ink shades. The scribe opens both quires with "Sancti Spiritus assit nobis gratia" in the upper margin., Part I: The very simple decoration is uneven and consists of plain Romanesque initials, 2 or 3 lines, in red ink; on f. 41r (Ps. 51) 5 lines; many initials are not executed or later coarsely added in black ink. Part II: Undecorated., and Binding: Fifteenth century. Brown sheepskin over heavy unbevelled wooden boards, blind-tooled with triple fillets. Spine with three raised bands.
