Scribes - Main hands: One original hand (not specifically identified), and one later (μβ' only) imitating the original.

Scribes - Paratext: original illumination, titles and chapter markings (possibly same as main hand); later red scribal notes and new chapter markings (very frequent); distinct red hand for scribal notes (31v, 34v); later phonetic Greek (scribbled/informal hand; very frequent); faded neat/possibly pencil notes; appear to count, although what is unclear (eg. 1v); Gold-hue practice notation (73v, 74r).

Description of the Script and Type of the Script: Main hand is perlschrift (μβ' is a later imitation). Gospel titles, epilogues, chapter titles and markings are distinct epigraphic majuscule. All other hands are informal or highly abbreviated scholarly hand.

Scribal notes: Frequent red scribal notes (in addition to original chapter marks). Same hand added chapter/section divisions which do not appear to line up with original chapter divisions. Sections for reading in same red ink marked by means of “ἀρχ(ῆ)” and “τέ(λος)”, although not every start point is matched by an end point.

Other: Two originally blank leaves (73v/74r) contain several informal hands – none overtly scribal in nature.

Some illuminated initial letters; highly illuminated initial letters to gospels; illuminated gospel titles and Greek-style headpieces (76r, 140r, 248r). 76r has later additions.

The entire MS has gold leaf head, tail and fore-edge. The Inside Upper and Lower Boards have marbled paper which appears to have been stuck on between those and the first and last fly leaves.
