The manuscript has 160 numbered pages, at the bottom of the page, comprising 39 chapters. The text block measures 12.5x7.5 cm, with 23 lines per full page and a particularly neat calligraphy, probably written in a monastic scriptorium, with black and red ink. At the beginning of each chapter, the copyist has created initials, sometimes decorated with floral elements and red ink. At the front of the manuscript, the copyist has made a floral decoration, using red ink. On page 153 there is a notation "Zafeodora" written in blue ink and in Cyrillic characters. Some pages have at the bottom of the page a dry stamp, oval in shape and two initials "K.K.". The manuscript retains a monastic binding made of wooden boards covered with brown leather and two metal and leather locks.
