The manuscript contains the text of the four Gospels on 309 parchment leaves (32×24,2 cm), with lacuna at the end. The last 12 leaves were lost. The text is written in two columns and 43 lines per pagina, in half uncial letters.[1]

Palaeographers are not in agreement as to the dating of this manuscript (6-8th century). It is not certain where the manuscript was written. Both Split and Italy have been suggested by scholars as the place of its origin.[2] It any way it is the oldest manuscript of Latin Vulgate found in Dalmatia.[3][4]
