Thus the left half of the sheet is now fol. 140 and the right half is fol. 141r. The name of the scribe of the bull, A. de Collis, and the tax mark appear in the lower left margin.

The manuscript is written in single columns except for the indexes which are triple-columned. This manuscript and Vat. lat. 12571 and 12572 were in the Vatican Archives before becoming part of the Vatican Library's collection of manuscripts. The transfer took place in this century. An earlier owner of the manuscript was Antonius Augustinus, the noted sixteenth-century legal scholar The manuscript was acquired by him while he was bishop of Lérida (1561-76); see fol. 1r. Several old shelfmarks are given on the first folio: In Pluteo II, 20.1.2, and 49.
