Due to the state of the volume, a quire formula would make little sense. There are only two quaternions left undamaged, fol. 22–29 and fol. 42–49, while the rest of the leaves are more scattered and partly jumbled.Some original signatures remain, in the lower right corner of the last verso and the upper right corner of first recto: ιβʹ

Condition
Textblock
A few wormholes. Some corners and tears have been repaired with whiter paper.Script
Textblock
Hand 1
(ff. 1r–58v) A legible minuscule in black ink. The letters have regular, middle-sized nuclei but the ductus appears slightly unsteady and partly inclined to the left. The kappa has characteristic hooks, folded backwards on top of the main upright and inwards in the lower strokes. Some inclusions are found, together with a few standard abbreviations. Theta is sometimes “ad ombelico”, with a short vertical line for a dot.Hand 2
(f. 33v) In the right column of this page the style of writing appears slightly different. Perhaps it was copied by a different hand.Additions
Decorations
Textblock
Rubrics and initials in red ink; the main initials have a simple vegetable motif as ornament and are 5–6 lines tall. Headpieces before the title of each homily, at ff. 4r, 9v, 13v, 15r, 21v, 26v, 33r, 35r, 39v, 44r, 50r, 54v, showing geometrical and interlace designs in red, black, and golden ink. In addition to the geometric and palmette-leaf design, the headpiece on (f. 39v) displays two birds. The golden ink has at some places eaten through the paper; a few of the headbands were hence mended with strips of white restoration paper.
Binding
Early eighteenth-century half covers with brown stained skin and marbled paper over paper boards. No endbands. Sewn on four sewing supports.

Sparse gold-tooling on the spine and a gold-tooled leather title label with the text: CHRYSOSTOMI HOMILIAE. Additional paper labels on spine (shelfmark), on the front cover with handwriting (Codex Mss: Gr. Biblioth. Lincop. Nr.), and on the back cover (blank).
Origin
The use of Arabic paper combined with the style of script argues for a late 13th c. dating. Johannes Paulson dates it to the twelfth century, Anders Reinhold Alvin to the eleventh-twelfth.
Provenance
The volume was sent from Greece to Sweden by military officer Otto Wilhelm von Königsmarck, probably in the late 1680s. According to the note in Erik Benzelius the Younger’s hand (f. L1r), the paper volume was utilized by Otto Wilhelm von Königsmarck, or his companions, for sending herbaceous plants back home. It reached Erik Benzelius the Younger in portions by way of two colleagues, Professor Daniel Lundius and Magister Petrus Hedelinus.
Acquisition
Purchased by Linköping Diocesan Library in 1757 as part of the Benzelius book collection.
