Corner-pieces, centre-piece on the lower cover only, and a rectangular paper label at the head of upper cover lost. The spine painted white, with an eighteenth-century title on a paper label at the head and ‘L' on a paper label at the tail of the spine. Triple fillets form a double frame. Within the outer frame are ‘Maria' scrolls and lozenge-shaped pierced heart stamps. The inner rectangle contains a crude drawer-handle stamp and a small leaf stamp.

A pencil note inside the upper cover refers to MS. Lat. liturg. f. 123 for former pastedowns; this cannot be verified, and appears to be an incorrect shelfmark (Sheppard).

Some early running chapter headings and book numbers in brown ink. A piece of paper, loosely inserted between [et]8 and [et]9, contains notes in German in an eighteenth-century hand.
