A bifolium manuscript waste on parchment, c. 165 x 210 mm, recovered from a binding containing Pope Gregory IX’s Decretals, Book One.
 
The margins on both sides of the bifolium, and the lower half of the parchment has been cut with text loss. For the side where text remains, it is ruled in ink, c. 113 x 135 mm (ruled), for two columns of twenty lines in gothic textualis script in black ink, with marginal and interlinear glossing in a hybrid script in brown ink. Headers in red or blue, single line initials in black or red, and one three-line initial in blue with red pen flourishes, with a partial pen flourish in blue. The inner pages of the bifolium are effaced, possibly from being stuck down in a binding, the text that is visible in the upper portion of the parchment is reversed, possibly offset.
 
The text on the first recto contains capp. XXIX--XXXI. Cap. XXXI begins with a red initial for ‘Idem Bituricen[si] ap[ostolicae] se[dis] Le[gato]’, and a blue decorated three-line initial ’Ad audientiam nostram’, (‘To our audience’). The second verso contains text from Cap. II.
 
A very good example of binding waste, the manuscript has been crudely cut, it has worm holes and residue from adhesive from being used within a binding, one side effaced.
