This manuscript has not been inspected directly and the details are obtained partly from the thesis of Lale Uluc and partly from photographs made available in the Museum. Much of the data recorded therefore has still to be checked, and the record is thus incomplete; see also the catalogue of Cig, pp. 82-4.
The ms. contains at least one beautiful page of diagonal, illuminated script (f. 612v).
