This manuscript consists of a Psalter (ff. 19-228 and 232-233) written in the second third of the 11th Century by a single scribe, possibly one trained in an Alsatian scriptorium (source). It is bound together with a calendar (ff. 1-18) which was written in a Lorsch hand in the second quarter of the 11th Century (source). Part of the calendar indicates it was formerly held by the Lorsch daughter monastery, St Michael on the Heiligenberg, Heidelberg (source).
The manuscript contains a few pen-and-ink foliate capitals and a single illumination.
Basic descriptions of the illustrations are provided (in German) by the Bibliotheca Laureshamensis Digital with the facsimiles.
