Binding: Contemporary English blind-tooled calf over wooden boards, with parchment pastedowns. Probably the work of the ‘Floral Binder', who may have worked at Oxford: see Oldham Blind-Stamped Bindings, 22-3. Two catches and clasps lost; rebacked. Formerly chained: staple-marks of a hasp at tail of the lower cover. On both covers triple fillets form concentric frames, the outer one undecorated. The inner frame contains a lozenge-shaped floral stamp (Oldham pl. XVIII no. 174) and a rose stamp (Oldham pl. XVIII no. 165), with a small star stamp at the corner of the lozenge and round the circumference of the rose (Oldham pl. XVIII no. 170). The inner rectangle is divided by triple fillets into lozenge-shaped and triangular compartments, with the rose stamp, the lozenge-shaped floral stamp, the small star stamp, and a small circular fleur-de lys stamp (Oldham pl. XVIII no. 172). Author, title, and number ‘8' on fore-edge.

Provenance: ‘Cotynden', possibly to be identified with either Richard Codyngdon (fl. 1476-1513), as suggested by N. R. Ker to Emden (Emden, BRUO, 454-5); or, as suggested by Sheppard, Richard Cotinden (fl. 1508-1512, Emden, BRUO, 496); name on P6v in a fifteenth/sixteenth-century hand. Inscription on P6v in a sixteenth-century hand: ‘This booke appertaineth unto the court of Kinge Ballioll'. Edward Bernard (1638-1697); Wanley's list, p. 3, no. 236.
