Single column with 22 lines of text visible, gloss alternates, but no ruling for glossed lines, bounding lines, with one outer line, 8mm out, ruling with drypoint on verso (flesh).

Condition: Some evidence of cropping. This fragment comes from Cambridge University Library MS Mm.4.25, f. 98. See T. A. M. Bishop, "Notes on Cambridge Manuscripts, Part II," Transactions of the Cambridge Bibliographical Society 2, no. 2 (1955): 185–92.

Ker, in Medieval Libraries of Great Britain (London: Royal Historical Society, 1964). (See also letter from T.A.M. Bishop to B.S. Cron, Cambridge, 27 May 1955, part of Fragmenta Manuscripta files)
