Wanting [o2], [s1,2], and [I8].
Binding: Contemporary German (Herzogenburg, Augustinians; or Oloumouc, Moravia?, Kyriß workshop no. 13?), blind-tooled calf over wooden boards, four corner-pieces and the central boss on each cover and two clasps lost; yellow-edged leaves; rebacked. Parchment leaf used for reinforcing. Formerly chained: staple-marks of a hasp at head of the lower cover. On both covers fillets form intersecting triple frames. On the upper cover the inner rectangle is filled with fleurons surrounded by merrythoughts made up of two different headed-outline tools; within the outer frame a lozenge-shaped stamp with a dragon and two small rosette stamps; within the second frame a repeated wedge-shaped stamp. On the lower cover the inner rectangle is divided by triple fillets into lozenge-shaped compartments, within which are the headed-outline tools; within the outer frame the fleuron stamp and two small rosette stamps; within the second frame the repeated wedge-shaped stamp. The stamps are possibly the same as Kyriß pl. 27, nos 2, 3, 5; the workshop is ascribed to Olomouc by Hope Mayo, ‘Olomouc, not Herzogenburg: a Group of Gothic Blind-tooled Bookbindings Reattributed', Gb Jb 69 (1994), 264-91; tools on the binding of this incunable may be identical to nos 1, 2, 3, and 28.
