The features of the script together with the layout and the contents indicate France , 12th century, first half. The text of the gloss appears to belong to the tradition of the Glossa ordinaria on the Psalms, the earliest datable copy of which (Troyes, Bibliothèque municipale, 511) was donated to Clairvaux in (see Wilmart (1917) ). The layout of the gloss is that of the early 12th century (see De Hamel ).

One of the leaves which is missing from the manuscript was found in by former librarian Oscar Wieselgren in the Royal Danish Library (Fragm. 3136, ). The fragment is catalogued there as possibly having been used as a wrapper for regional tax accounts.

Acquisition date unknown, but the manuscript has belonged to the National Library since at least the 17th century; it is listed in Jaches's catalogue of 1695 as no. 387 and in his catalogue of 1698 (U 122) as no. 226.

 Gyllene böcker (1952) 1 Psalter ego custodiui uias duras et reuertetur in terram suam in illa die

The first part of the text of the psalter is missing; it begins in the middle of Psalm 16:4. The fragment found by former librarian Oscar Wieselgren in in the Royal Danish Library (Fragm. 3136; ) bears the text and gloss of Psalm 9:7–18.

Two leaves have been torn out between and resulting in loss of text; the psalter thus ends in the middle of Psalm 145:4.

Parchment

The manuscript shows clear signs of use, with dirt around the lower corners and edges. Some holes and tears, some with remnants of stitching (e.g. ); spillage stains at . At the bottom of , the ruling has caused the parchment to split.

The manuscipt has the customary layout of an early 12th century glossed book of the Bible (see De Hamel ), with a central column for the Bible text (60 mm), and two surrounding columns for the glosses (outer column 45-50 mm; inner column 35-45 mm). , blind ruling of central column, 18 lines per column, pricking intermittently visible; 16 lines per central column. From and the ruling extends to the spaces intended for the gloss, i.e. the inner and outer columns - and in some cases also the upper margin (e.g. ) as well as a few lines below the bottom line of the central column - at a height of two lines of commentary for each line of Bible text. From , ruling of the spaces intended for the gloss is intermittent.
