1 volume 76 ll. 4to. 20 1/2 x 15 cm. Modern boards. Reckoning by an early foliation, the following leaves are wanting between fol. 9 and 10, 1 leaf; between fol. 52 and 53, 2 leaves; between fol. 56 and 57, 3 leaves; between fol. 58 and 59, two leaves; between fol. 60 and 61, 5 leaves: between fol. 68 and 69, 2 leaves; between fol. 69 and 70, four leaves; between fol. 76 and fol. 1, three leaves. The MS. has been wrongly rebound and the present ff. 53-76 should have been placed at the beginning, as these are foliated in the old numeration 3-42. The present ff. 1-52 are in the old foliation 46-69 + 28 unnumbered. A new foliation 1-76 has been added in pencil. Lower corners cut away throughout; some leaves stained. Some capitals, paragraph marks and headings in red.
