Ms. codex. Marginalia include a few contemporary glosses in red ink and sparse notes in a 16th-century script (some of which are in Italian); there are pointing hands and other crude drawings in the same light brown ink as the late hand. Greek words appear among the annotations, as do certain recurring sigla, such as a small capital H inside a larger capital C. The outer margins of several folios have been cut away.

Decoration: Illuminated initial "S" with white vine interlace against an irregular blue, green, and red field (f. 1r); gold "N" on a green and purple field (f. 61v). Numerous smaller initials in red or blue. Crude drawings appear in the same light brown ink as the 16th-century annotations. Binding: 17th cent., half calf. Origin: Written in Italy, ca. 1475.
