In Latin.
Script: Apparently copied by four different hands, mostly very unstable and looking different depending on the period during which they entered the various sections. A (ff. 1r-54v and ff. 107v-108v) writes peculiar forms of Humanistica Semitextualis Libraria. B (ff. 55r-66v) writes Humanistica Semitextualis Libraria. C (ff. 67r-98v) writes a small sloping Gothico-Antiqua Currens. D (ff. 99r-105r) writes a Humanistica Cursiva Libraria.
Leaves are missing, and many texts are consequently incomplete. Many pages spoilt by the acidity of the ink.
The decoration is uneven and differs from section to section. Headings in red ink, red (sometimes yellow) heightening of majuscules, red paragraph marks and red plain initials of various sizes. Sometimes guide-letters without initials. Running headlines (author names) in large Southern Gothica Textualis Formata in some sections.
Binding: Nineteenth century. Damaged half linen, the pasteboard covers covered with red paper impressed with a spiky lozenge pattern in black. Removed and rebound in purple paper. - Provenance
