| Black ink. Titles in red, and headbands in green, black and red. The indication of the quires has been added by a later hand (from α′ to μη′). It has lost some leaves among the current ff. 178-179, 184-185 and 241-215. Some folios contain lacunae; a later hand intervened to fill these lacunae by completing the end of f. 229r and f. 334r and writing in full ff. 328v, 337r, 341r-v, 350r, 361v. The general state of conservation is good; only the flyleaves are slightly worn. Some water stains are visible at the end of the manuscript.
