Wanting the blank leaf LL8 in part II.
Five parts bound in four volumes. Molitoris's table is bound in at the beginning of part I, rather than at end of part IV.
Binding: English, contemporary blind-tooled calf over wooden boards. All four volumes bound uniformly, by the ‘Foliate staff binder'. Formerly chained: staple-marks of a hasp. On both covers triple fillets form a double frame, with an inner rectangle divided by fillets into lozenge-shaped compartments: for stamps see Oldham, Blind-stamped Bindings, pl. xxvi no. 340, and, within the outer frame, Oldham, Blind-stamped Bindings, pl. xxvi no. 339. Fragments of manuscript leaves as reinforcing slips in parts II–IV. Former pastedowns from these volumes are now Inc. b. G97.1(18); see B‑552, Bernhard von Breydenbach,Peregrinatio in terram sanctam Mainz: Erhard Reuwich, 11 Feb. 1486. The gold stamp of the Bodleian Library on both covers.
Size: Volume 1: 320 × 230 × 65 mm; vol. 2: 320 × 230 × 55 mm; vol. 3: 323 × 235 × 70 mm; vol. 4: 322 × 230 × 63 mm.
Size of leaf: 305 × 210 mm.
Early marginal notes, some possibly in the hand of Edward Medley. In part I, on (cc6v a page of notes on Molitoris's table, written in a contemporary hand, perhaps that of Medley, with incipit ‘Hec tabula pro simplicibus declarat modum allegandi tam theologos quam iura canonica et ciuilia ac aliquas abbreviationes . . .’
Provenance: John Purcell (sixteenth century); on [u2r] of the former pastedowns (see above under the description of the binding) several inscriptions of ‘Johannes Purcell capellanus' and other names in English hands. Edward Medley (fl. 1512-1515). Anthony Morgan (1569/70-1608/9.) Donated by Morgan in 1601; see Benefactors' Register I 32; Jensen, ‘Benefactors' Register', no. 59.
