Manuscript on paper (sturdy; various unidentified watermarks) of Virgil, Aeneis. Some lines lacking; most were presumably on leaves that became detached and have fallen out. Prefaced to each book are ten or eleven lines in verse. The text of Vergil is accompanied on ff. 1r-5v by marginal and interlinear glosses, the greater portion of which are derived from or an adaptation of Servius. The commentary does, however, include notes (some in Greek) independent of Servius

Beech boards with rectangular channels on the outside in which the straps are nailed. The spine is lined with brown leather and the book covered in dark brown sheepskin faintly blind-tooled with a central diamond made up of arches with small ornaments scattered in and around it.
