This manuscript contains the text of the Vulgate for the Old Testament and part of the Gospel of Saint Matthew (from the beginning to 18:34). It omits the Psalms, but it includes First Esdras, a different version of the canonical Book of Ezra, which was ultimately rejected by the Western Church since it is not present in the Hebrew Bible; it still survives in several copies of the Vulgate.

The order of the books is the usual one, except that Lamentations follows Baruch instead of preceding it.

F. 2 and f. 3 have been swapped.

The Book of Job is precedend by an argumentum, a short introductory paragraph that contextualise the content of the book itself (f. 202r). This text is taken from the Glossa Ordinaria, an extensive commentary on the Scriptures which was extremely popular in the Middle Ages (generally attributed to Walafrid Strabo, abbot of Reichenau, although scholars now believe that it was compiled by the twelfth century theologian Anselm of Laon).

A lacuna (i.e. omission) of the scribe in the Book of Ezekiel (42:2 to 45:14) has been filled thanks to the later addition of two folios (f. 308 and f. 309).

The first two prologues to Maccabees included in the manuscript are by the Medieval theologian Rabanus Maurus (c. 780-856), Benedectine monk and disciple of Alcuinus. He was in charge of the abbey school of Fulda between 803 and 814, abbot of the same monastery from 822 to 842, and finally archbishop of Mainz from 847. The first prologue (f. 334r) is a letter to Louis the Pious, king of France and begins with the words Domino excellentissimo et in cultu Christiane religionis strenuissimo, Ludovico regi, rabanus vilissimus servorum dei in dominorum domino perpetuam optae salutem. The second prologue (starts on f. 324r) is a letter to a certain Geroldus, arhcdeacon of the royal palace and begins with the words: Reverendissimo et omni caritatis officio dignissimo gelaldo [sic] sacri palatii archidiacono, rabanus vilis servorum dei servus in christo salutem.
