Digesta - Digestum vetus: fragm. ( first sheet: D.2.11.20.2 'Idem decennium est' - D.2.13.4.5 'agitur eum'. Second sheet: D.2.15.11 'iudicatum esse' - D.3.1.7 finis). Only photographs seen, in data base "Gallica".
Anglo-Norman handwriting. Compass pricks for text lines can be seen on the inner margin as well as on the outer margin (= an Anglo-Norman habit of the time). Some Inscriptiones are complete, most are not. Outer initial characters always in dark blue with a vertical red stroke, inner initial characters always red. Book 3 starts with a large character 'H', richly decorated, which fills a square of half the width of the text column. The other half of that width is filled with text lines in normal script.
Between the two sheets of the bifolium, two other bifolia are missing. One of these other bifolia went into MS Paris, BMazarine 851 (flyleaf, D.2.14.51 - D.2.15.5). Still other manuscripts in Paris have flyleaves which probably originated from that same MS whose parchment was recycled: namely Paris, BArsenal 486 and 684; Paris, BMazarine 851, and Paris, BNF, lat. 14297. They all came from Saint-Victor, so the bookbinder who added the flyleaves in question was active in Paris, Saint-Victor
