Schrift und Hände:
  • Punctuation: the medial point marked various pauses; many points added.
  • Omissions are marked by signes de renvoi.
  • Abbreviations: b;, q; (and q:) = bus, que; au = autem; = ber (and bis); ē = est, , ꝳ = men, mus; = non; nꞇ, ni and nri, etc. = noster, -ri, etc. om = omnes; omptis, ompm = omnipotentis, -em; ꝑ, , ꝓ, pp (and pp) = per, prae, pro, propter; q̾, q, quō = qui, quod, quoniam; ꞅɫ = rum; sic̄ = sicut; = ter.
  • Spelling shows confusion of e and i, o and u.

  • Script, by more than one scribe, is broad roundish minuscule of the Alemannic type recalling the manuscript of Prophets ordered by Bishop John II of Constance (St. Gall 44, our No. 899), but apparently of later date: ɑ is more frequent than a; the nt-ligature occurs in mid-word; Ɛ is used for hard ti; in the uncial headings the oblique of N sometimes extends beyond the second upright as in St. Gall MS. 44.
Buchschmuck:
  • Colophons in hollow capitals filled with red and yellow (see plate);
  • Incipits in uncial mixed with capitals or in black capitals with superimposed and surrounding red dots; colours used are red, yellow, and blue.
  • Citations from the Bible are in uncial.
  • Well drawn, typical initials, some coloured with red and yellow, using the leaf and occasionally the fish motifs.
  • Capitals at the beginning of sentences are green or black touched with daubs of red.
Spätere Ergänzungen: Probationes pennae (saec. IX and X) on pp. 328, 329, 330.
Entstehung der Handschrift: Written doubtless at St. Gall, to judge by the script.
