4to (172 x 240 mm). Latin manuscript in brown ink on paper. (4 blank ff.), 108 unfoliated leaves of text, (2 ff., ruled but otherwise blank); thus complete. 27 lines per extensum, alternating blue and red Lombardic initials; rubricated titles. Blank pages at the beginning have a 15th-century watermark (bull's head, Briquet 14871-14874, used in many places including Innsbruck), different from the one on the text pages (Briquet 11745-11755). Near the end of the text, one ruled folio is left blank with only the note "nihil deficit" (nothing missing). Contemporary binding by Christan Eriber (active 1444-62, EBDB w000148) in brown calf over wooden boards with blindstamped tools (EBDB s011580, s011581, s011582); spine on 5 double and simple raised bands, compartments blindstamped. Early spine label with handwritten inscription. Two original straps with clasps, five brass bosses to centre and corners of both covers. Vellum front flyleaf. Extremities of binding a bit worn; spine-ends chipped. One of the straps has been unobtrusively restored.
