Bound in a two heavily damaged parchment leaves contaning manuscript waste, both of them in Latin, written in two columns. The outer leaf is from a catholic liturgical book (ps. 88,3-16; ps. 101,1-23, and prayers). The other leaf contains Jerome's Vita S. Hilarionis, chs. 14-20.37. The leaves are sewn together with a thick leather thread. Both leaves were trimmed to ca. 23 x 25 cm. The leaves are overlapping on the spine and the inner half of the front cover. The outer leaf is placed in a way that the free space between the two columns is located on the spine. On the inside of the back cover, there is a heavily damaged illumination, possibly the initial "D", ca. 5 x 4 cm in black and red, along with earlier marginalia.
