Book one: Prologue to the Rule. The text is written in a Visigothic minuscule, on lines ruled with dry point. There are 27 lines to a page. The text of the Rule is written in red or green ink. Coloured or decorated initials are sometimes used, particularly following extracts from the Rule and to denote the start of the chapters. These are, in many cases, drawn in outline and filled in with colour red, green and yellow. There is a hole in the folio revealing part of the text on folio 11r.
