Description:
VLF 86 is a parchment codex from the first half of the 9th c., its leaves measuring 287 x 205 mm. It is constructed of 24 quires of 4 bifolia, totalling 192 leaves (384). Quire signatures in Roman numerals are still visible. A 15th-c. hand added foliation in Roman numerals. Several leaves show damage in the margins. Written space covers 210 x 140 mm (29 lines in hard point ruling). The text was written by a single scribe in Minuscula carolina. It was corrected and annotated by two slightly later hands, one of which was a monk at the Benedictine monastery of Corbie, the other someone who calls himself Thegan (10th-c). Other comments were added by the 15th-16th-c. owners. Several initials, inscriptions and Greek words are in yellow. The codex has a 19th-c. cardboard binding with dark leather protection.
