In Latin.
Script: copied by several similar hands in small, highly abbreviated Northern Gothica Textualis Libraria (Semitextualis).
Decoration: initials in red and blue, some with ornamentations and extensions in red and blue tracery. Guide letters in the margins.
Binding: 19th century English blue leather with artificial cross grain over pasteboard. Gold-tooled inscriptions in the compartments of the spine. The damaged state of the final leaf of the manuscript shows that the original binding probably was chained at a staple fixed to the lower edge of the rear board. - Provenance
- Acquired from the estate of Henry B. Fernald through his daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Allen, by E.K. Schreiber in 1987. Purchased from him the same year on The Library Associates Fund and Gift of George P. and Mary P. Milmine.
