Super-chancery 2° (320 x 220mm), 398 leaves, Gothic types, printed in double column, three columns in the Interpretationes , initial spaces, most with printed guide-letter, full floral border in pink, green and blue with white modelling and gold dots opening text, an armorial in lower margin, first two major initials similarly decorated on gold ground within black frame, remaining initials alternating in red and blue (slight worming, mostly marginal, marginal tear in S2, final leaf [register] torn with some loss), 18th-century vellum over thin pasteboard (section torn from lower cover), modern archival box. Provenance : unidentified German coat-of-arms (rubbed), early marginal annotations.
