In Latin., Script: the main text is copied by two hands, both writing Gothica Textualis Libraria with similar features.

Similar features are found in the table for finding the date of Easter, copied in a small Gothica Textualis Libraria, possibly by the same hand. The list of Houses of the Teutonic Order is approximately contemporary, in small Gothica Textualis Libraria under cursive influence (some ascenders are looped). Later additions in various hands. The main part of the text has red headings, paragraph marks and stroking of majuscules; 2-line alternately plain and flourished half inset initials, the latter with primitive penwork, 3-line flourished initials at the opening of the Books; at the opening of the additional chapters plain initials only., Hugo Ripelin's Compendium theologicae veritatis, with three final chapters not belonging to the work of Hugo Ripelin, nor found in the version of his work printed from 1470/1472 and attributed to Albertus Magnus.
