Leaves [d3-4] have changed places with [f3-4].
Binding: Contemporary German blind-tooled pigskin over wooden boards; remains of metal bosses and clasps; rebacked. Quadruple fillets form an intersecting double frame. Within the outer frame a foliate staff stamp; seven diagonal fillets divide he inner rectangle into triangular compartments, decorated with headed-outline tools and foliate stamps; acorns and leaves have been stamped on the diagonal fillets; rosette stamps in the corners and at the centre of the inner rectangle. From a manuscript label on the upper cover it appears that the volume at one time contained also ‘Tractatus de modo praedicandi'; shelfmark ‘A 70', in red; for another book with a Dürnstein provenance see Goldschmidt I 142-3 and plates VIII, XCIC, but not showing these stamps.
