- Description
-
In Latin.
Script: The main text (art. 5) is copied by perhaps one hand in a small early Northern Gothica Textualis Libraria; while artt. 1-4 are copied by another hand in similar script and light brown ink.
Decoration: In Art. 5, there is red stroking of majuscules; alternately red and blue 1- to 3-line plain initials at the opening of each lemma; the first initial of each letter of the alphabet is a large flourished initial or littera duplex (but N.B. initial “B” missing on f. 14v); and the lemmata are connected with their various explanations by means of wavy red lines. Artt. 1-4 have red headings, red stroking of majuscules and 2- or 3-line plain, decorated, or flourished initials entirely in red.
Binding: Twentieth century white pigskin over cardboard. Both covers blind-tooled with a frame of stamps, and with interior space divided into 25 rectangles, each decorated with lozenge-shaped foliate stamp. The spine has five raised bands, and most compartments are blind-tooled with a quadrangular stamp. - Provenance
