From the British Academy description:

Published Information: See Andreas Wilmart, Codices Reginenses Latini, t. 2 (In Bibliotheca Vaticana, 1945, p. 358-61). Owned in the 14th century by St Denys in France. A 15th century hand made many corrections and additions. Also see Scholz Unbekannte, p. 144.

Observations: Elaborate decoration of first page, 1r. Occasional corrections in various hands; see for example 40v, 98r, 105r; see long marginal additions, 84r, 95r. The codex consists of gatherings of 8 folios (6 from 121r to 126v, then 8 again from 127r). The catchwords (e.g. 16v, 24v, 40v) are decorated distinctively, often with a fish. The top line of a column is often decorated with a head (e.g. 16v). 1 Dial. 5 ends at 56ra; 56rb and 56v are blank. 1 Dial. 6 begins at 57r and ends at 126v with "explicit secunda pars istius libri / incipit tercia", followed by a blank page. (A later hand has crossed out the references to the second and third parts.) 1 Dial. 7 begins on fol. 127r.

Collation shows that Vg belongs to the family that includes Pa Va.
