Additions in the margin by a contemporary hand. The additions usually consist of single words, but are sometimes more substantial, e.g. f. 50r. There are also some additions in Greek, e.g. f. 1r. Throughout the manuscript are also notes in pencil by a modern hand, usually references to chapters in a printed edition.
Decorations

Main text in brown ink, rubrics in red.
Space reserved for initials, guide letters usually present. Some of these are by a contemporary hand in red ink, but the majority in lead or pencil by a later hand, see f. 20r for an example of both;
The manuscript has been at the National Library since at least the 17th century. It is listed in Jaches's catalogue of 1695 (U 118:10) as ‘no 241’; in Jaches's catalogue of 1698 (U 122) as ‘no 20’; and in the catalogue of 1734 (U 125e) as ‘Theol. in Fol No 18’. The label ‘30. 3. 5.’ (found on LCI) is from Hammarsköld’s 19th century catalogue (U 133). The signum ‘132’ (partially visible on old label on LCI) has not been identified.
