The two covers are decorated by means of triple fillets with different patterns: on the front cover a double rectangular frame divided into small lozenges decorated with lozenge-shaped hand-tools: griffon, unicorn (?), undetermined, ad two small flowerets; on the rear cover a double rectangular frame divided into six triangles decorated with only a few lozzenge-shaped hand-tools.

Manuscript on paper in five parts, each with its own very partial foliation (ca. 1800); they seem to have had the same history. The handwriting, by various scribes sometimes difficult to discern, is generally very uneven. The paper at places damaged by the acidity of the ink. Part I (ff. 1-84, art. 1): Copied by four Gothic hands: A (ff. 1r-29v): Hybrida Formata; B (ff. 30r-39va): Semihybrida Currens; C (ff. 39vb-56r): Hybrida Libraria; D (ff. 56v-77r): small Hybrida Libraria. Part II (ff. 85-215, art. 2): Copied by various scribes, writing Hybrida Formata, Hybrida Libraria, Cursiva Libraria (ff. 153v-157v) and Semihybrida Currens (f. 210r-v, 212v). The headings are in diverse types of script, often slovenly written. Part III (ff. 216-273, art. 3): Copied by three hands. A (ff. 216r-230v): large, bold Hybrida Formata; B (ff. 231r-272ra): Hybrida Libraria; C = friar Rudolphus Deyrdynck (f. 272rb-v): Hybrida Libraria. Part IV (ff. 274-343, artt. 4-19): Copied by one hand writing Hybrida or Semihybrida Libraria/Currens. Part V (ff. 344-388, art. 20): Copied by three hands. A (ff. 344r-352ra, 14): bold Hybrida Formata/Libraria; B (ff. 352ra, 14-354va): bold Semihybrida Libraria; C (ff. 354vb-388r): linear Hybrida Libraria/Currens sloping to the left.
Note in the lower margin of f. 1r suggests that the manuscript was produced in the Benedictine abbey of Huysburg, north of Halberstadt. The scribe Rudolf Deyerdynck may have been a member of this community. Gift of the Library Associates of Yale University Library.
