Judging by style and codicology, the ms. was probably written in the convent of Cistercian nuns at Medingen, Germany. See curatorial file.

Some letters are unfinished, having the ground applied but not gilded. There are 9 larger initials with part-borders. Some initials have protective silk veils sewn over them. On. f. 112v the initial is pinned onto the leaf.
Illustrations of figures, all holding scrolls with texts associated with them: Isaiah (f. 25r), two angels (76v, the scroll text being antiphons), David playing the harp and St. Bernard (75r), St. Gregory (80v), St. Ambrose (81r), St. Anselm (106r).
