  • Illustration: (ff. 1rv-2r) The (contemporary) flyleaves contain diagrams on Martianus Capella's work.
  • Textual: (ff. 3r-181v) Attribution of the commentary to Martin of Laon has been questioned. The commentary has also been attributed to an Irish bisshop called Dunchad. - (ff. 168r-181v) According to Bischoff 2004, the glosses include an autograph of John Scotus, but Gumbert 2009 disagrees.
  • Also described by BNM and MMDC.
