Cover: Bookspine medieval, in leather. Wooden boards. Their inner half might still be medieval wood, but their outer half was added in recent decades. In the spine: a recycled scrap of a manuscript of Corpus iuris can be seen, Italian, late 12th century, visible in the gap between fol. 2 and 4.</p> <p> Heavy damage from fol. 226 onward: partial loss of written parchment. Gaps in parchment have fire-blackened edges.</p> <p> The characteristics of the MS match those of a MS previously kept in Poznań, Biblioteka Seminarijna, MS 11, described by Lisiecki in 1905. In 1941 the provisional German administration of Poznań took the MS out, but no record of this event survives. It is only recorded (by Taubenschlag, Vetulani and Aland) that in times after 1945 the library no longer possessed this MS. Evidence shows that it was obviously entrusted to a book-restorer who made various interventions of repair.
