Abstract: 
302 x 214 mm. Parchment. Single leaf. Single column; 27 lines; unruled. Written in dark brown ink in a very fine slightly sloping Carolingian miniscule. Canon references to parallel passages of other Gospels in smaller script in inner margins, 8 initials in red set out into left-hand margins, recovered from the outside of a book-binding, the verso rubbed and stained where exposed, the recto glue-stained where attached to the boards, outer corners mitred and edges creased where once folded around the binding.

This leaf is greatly damaged by later glue stains but still retains much original elegance. It represents Carolingian miniscule at its highpoint.
