Script: Written in various cursive scripts, with many of the sermons appearing to be in the same hand and the notes appearing to be in several other hands.
Binding: 19th-century[?] vellum, splitting at upper hinge. Front and back endleaves include a reused parchment leaf from an earlier Latin text.
Origin: No date or place given for the sermons. The printed text was produced in Antwerp in 1564 (f. 5r).
Interleaved with a printed lectionary text in Greek with Latin headings. In general, each printed leaf is separated from the next by at least one or two manuscript leaves. The manuscript leaves are the same height as the printed leaves, but often of slightly greater width.
The manuscript text is generally written out to the edges of the leaf, leaving no margins and no gutter. Thus on many leaves the wearing of the edges has obscured portions of the text.
The printed Greek lectionary text has a separate record. To obtain it, do a keyword search for the phrase Ms. Codex 216.
