Wanting the blank leaf a1, also F5, i5, and u1.
Binding: Early sixteenth-century blind-tooled German pigskin over wooden boards, with one metal clasp and catch, and remains of a second. On both covers intersecting triple fillets form a frame, within which is a fleuron, a circular rosette stamp, and a circular eagle stamp. Triple fillets form the inner rectangle which is divided by further fillets into three compartments, the outer two being decorated with merrythoughts surrounding a lozenge-shaped eagle stamp or the circular eagle stamp, whilst the central compartment contains a small circular owl stamp. Overall, inside the inner rectangle on both covers, the gold stamp of the Bodleian Library. The name of the author appears in black ink in a fifteenth/sixteenth-century hand on the lower edge, thus showing that the book was, at an early point in its history, stored standing on its fore-edge.
Size: 319 × 215 × 53 mm.

Occasional annotations, some ‘nota' marks and pointing hands in red ink; also underlining in the text in red ink.
