[olim kps. 19/VII]
Parchment, 2 pieces of 1 leaf, c. 19 × 5,5 cm; Germany (Fulda ?), saec. VIII / IX
Isidorus Hispalensis, De natura rerum, praefatio & capitulatio
The fragment was part of the same codex as MS. Basel, Universitätsbibliothek, F III 15 a (fol. 1-23)
The two pieces of the Copenhagen fragment were part of the same leaf. 2-3 lines between the pieces and the lower part of the leaf have been cut off. The manuscript in Basel shows that there were 26-27 lines per page; that means that over half of the text on the original leaf has been lost
