The manuscript contains notes beneath the text throughout, written in red ink. (Written in 11–13 lines per leaf.; 5 leaves foliated 1–5 even numbers only, lower right verso.; Mistakes covered over in yellow or blacked out; some corrections and additions in margins, with an extensive commentary written in red above most lines of text.)
