Description:
VLF 74 is a vellum codex from the first half of the 9th c., its leaves measuring 295 x 250 mm. It is constructed of 24 quires of mostly 4 bifolia, totalling 189 leaves (378 pages). Foliation was added by the scribe while a 15th-c. hand added quire signatures in Roman numerals. Written space covers 210/215 x 175/182 mm, divided into 2 columns of 32 lines. The text was written by several scribes in Minuscula carolina. The first part (ff. 1-106) was written in France (Loire region) under the supervision of Lupus of Ferrières. The second part (ff. 107-188) was finished during Lupus' stay at Fulda. Lupus himself made corrections and wrote a few lines. Inscriptions and initials are in dark ink. The codex has an 18th-c. cardboard binding protected by multi-coloured paper and a parchment spine.
