Summary:

Fragment of a parchment codex, extensively corroded (likely due to oxidization of the iron gall ink), with text now lost; the text on the first leaf is only visible above top lines (f. 1r-v); the second leaf shows slightly more faded script (especially f. 2v). Evidence of another fragmentary script (possibly Arabic) remains at the edges of the original text block; much of the text block is missing. Written in 15 lines, ruled in hardpoint; original pricking visible (f. 2r-v).
